Why you should choose a Douglas fir playset?

Advantages of Douglas Fir

Moisture Resistance:

  • The high resin content makes Douglas fir resistant to fungal attack due to moisture.
  • Less swelling and shrinking than other softwoods, making it more dimensionally stable and durable.
  • The natural protection provided by the resin makes Douglas fir more resistant to rot and decay.

Insect Resistance:

  • High resin content is insect repellent such as woodworms.
  • The dense structure of the wood makes it difficult for insects to attack the wood.
  • More resistant to mold and blue stain than wood from other softwoods.

Other advantages:

  • Hardest softwood species and therefore robust and suitable for construction purposes.
  • Beautiful appearance with a reddish-brown color and distinctive grain.
  • Sustainable and environmentally friendly, as it comes from local forests.

Note:

  • Douglas fir is also not completely resistant to weathering.
  • The wood should not be placed on a permanently moist substrate.
  • Moss and algae growth can occur under tall trees.
  • In shady places, the wood may take longer to dry.
