A shaved post is given an extra machining process, making this post more expensive than a finely sawn hardwood post. All our posts are square sawn. A stake is defined as being square, so a dimension such as 6 x 6 cm is a stake. If the dimensions are not equal, for example 5 x 8 cm, this is not a post but a beam.

Tropical hardwood for canopies, verandas or sheds is not often used. These types of wood are heavier in weight and more difficult to process than larch Douglas or oak. However, it is advisable to use planed tropical hardwood for the uprights which support the roof construction. Wooden posts in the ground are affected by bacteria and fungi. Tropical hardwood is much more durable than oak or larch. Therefore, we recommend that you use tropical hardwood for your wooden posts in the ground. Square wooden posts can be planed with rounded corners or finely sawn.

Available dimensions for posts

A finely sawn post has a rough surface that allows the grain of the wood to stand out slightly. Finely-sawn square posts have a straight edge and no rounded corners. Splinters are common with square finely-sawn posts. Wooden posts in the ground as finely-sawn posts may have a slight deviation in width or thickness. This is because the circular saw heats up during sawing and therefore saws with a slight deviation, this gives some size tolerance. A pole may therefore not be square to the millimetre.

Planed wooden post spiked

The surface of shaved square timber posts is much smoother. A shaving machine works the square posts, making the surface very smooth. Shaved square wooden posts always have a rounded corner on all four sides. Sometimes an extra treatment is applied to the posts, not a round corner on four sides but also a V-groove on the long sides. Square-shaped wooden posts are fixed dimensions. These square wooden posts are all planed in the same way so they all have the same dimensions.

Garden lighting

Garden lighting ensures that your wood project comes into its own in the evening. By using the right garden lighting, you can create a nice atmosphere in your garden.

Garden lighting comes in different forms, this can be let lighting on 12 V or normal lighting on 220 V. Garden lighting is always waterproof because it must be able to withstand all elements of the weather. Lighting can be mounted as spotlights in a decking or built into the roof boarding. Integrated lighting often gives the best finish and end result. But also surface-mounted spotlights or lamps can be very beautiful.

When building a Douglas fir, oak or tropical hardwood canopy, don't forget to make a sketch beforehand. Not only is this useful so that you have a clear idea of how big the project will be. But it also gives you clarity about where the power points should be. It is much nicer to hide away the electricity wires than to place them in sight afterwards. Prevent unpleasant surprises later and think carefully about the result you want. Make a clear building plan and work it out in a construction sketch.
