Merbau is a versatile wood product. It is utilised for larger-scale projects and general construction also featured in backyards as outdoor furniture, and internally in a range of joinery, flooring and other uses. The attractive yellow-orange brown hue of freshly cut heartwood deepens or reddens with ageing.

Beyond that, Merbau is quite resistant to termites and seasons well with kiln or air-drying, exhibiting only a low degrade and very little shrinkage or movement. The grain of Merbau can vary but it is usually interlocked or wavy, with a coarse but even texture, often prized for its attractiveness on back sawn material.

*Please note: as timber is a natural product standard industry practise is to order 5% more than you need to ensure you receive enough usable product. This does not include wastage for cutting to size etc. (15% on random length decking 5% for finger jointed)

Also, like all timber products, there may be variations in the straightness of the boards and this is not a defect. Not all boards will be perfectly straight and ture, and it is common for some to require straightening during installation. This is a standard occurrence in deck building.
