Have you had much experience on these brian?


I'm guessing there's quite a bit involved in their design.
Different species of timbers have unique densities, would that come into play??


The saw mill I had experience with sell Australian Hard wood timber all over the country. Due to the slow dry process the cells in the timber shrink and will repel moisture. They seemed to have no problem with storing the timber in the elements after drying.



Can you tell us a bit more about your experiences Brian??
