The Nature of Wood

Our carports are built using natural timbers from our local forests. We work with high-quality timbers and individually choose the wood for your carports with care. Trees are unique and, as such, are not perfectly uniform. The wood used for our handcrafted timber frames may have knots, wormholes, or blue stain.  As green wood dries it may develop checking or cracks, it may shrink or twist, and like all of us, it will grey over time. These characteristics make natural wood products unique.  None of these characteristics affect the structural integrity of the wood or the carport.
