Why is Larch the best wood for Planters?
Larch boasts a number of benefits over other wood types making it ideal for making planters with a stylish finish, as well as providing an amazing long life.
We are so confident in our larch planters' ability to resist decay, we provide a guarantee for 10 years, and expect a life of at least 20 years.
Benefits of using larch include:
- Natural resistance to decay. Hence no need to impregnate the wood with toxic preservatives, as used for other soft woods.
- Aesthetically beautiful timber, which permits high manufacturing standards
- Impressive stability, with no distortion over time
- Low maintenance.
- Constructed from hand selected Larch from sustainably managed woodlands
The following properties are responsible for its durability:
- High Density and Large Content of Heartwood – Heartwood is denser, less permeable, and more durable than the surrounding sapwood.
- The structural properties of Larch are far superior to treated pine and really are better than any softwood out there. Larch is the hardest softwood around
- Unlike Cedar and Pine, and Redwood, Larch does not need you to apply a wood preservative or paint layer to survive the outdoor elements, which with other woods, requires re-applying yearly. None of this tiresome task is required for Larch planters
- If you want to change the appearance, we suggest staining the wood. Larch takes a stain very well and with its grain features it can be amazingly beautiful when stained.
- We offer a staining service, but will also provide you with a supplier of our approved products to allow you to stain them yourself and touch them up if required.
