“Natures Alternative To
Chemically Treated Wood ”

With the health concerns of CCA treated wood becoming more apparent every day, more and more people are looking for an environmentally friendly lumber alternative. There is a large trend moving towards wood species, which are naturally resistant to decay.

For years Island farmers and boat builders have used “Tamarack” or Juniper as it is commonly known, for items such as fence posts and fishing boat ribs. They used this product for several reasons:
(1) It is much stronger than Spruce or White Cedar
(2) It has a very high natural rot resistance and would last longer than any other local species.

Available Sizes:

Tamarack Decking is available in two different sizes:
5/4” x 4” (Actual Size 1” x 3 ¼” x Random Lengths)
5/4” x 5” (Actual Size 1” x 4 ¼” x Random Lengths)

Milling Procedure:

Royalty’s Tamarack Decking is first kiln dried to an average moisture content of 15 to 18%. Then our decking is milled on a five head moulder and is dressed on all four sides and eased on all four edges. This ensures a smooth, splinter free surface, which readily accepts stains or finishes. Tamarack has a very appealing natural appearance and once a finish has been applied the natural grain pattern becomes more pronounced.

If you are planning to build a new patio or veranda this season, why not consider using Tamarack! Not only will it give you a deck the will withstand years of wear and tear, it will also give you a beautiful addition to your home or cottage.
