What are we talking about? Wood acetylation has been used in Europe over 90 years. It is a green process (meaning nothing is used that doesn’t occur in wood naturally) that alters the cell structure of wood to its core thus making it much stronger and more durable.

Its additional benefits: This pine is legally harvested from well-managed, sustainable sources, including those Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified. It is mold and fungi resistant. It is virtually rot and insect proof. It is non-toxic and 100% recyclable.

This acetylated pine is guaranteed for 30 year when used above ground (think doors, window frames, garden decking, facades, cladding and sidings, boat decks and garden furniture) and for 20 years when used for below-ground applications. It is ideal for boat decks, trimmings and freshwater applications such a canal sides, but unsuitable for underwater salt water environments.

Our acetylated pine can be machined in exactly the same way as unmodified wood. However, gluing parameters would be the same as those for hardwoods.

We have “totally clear” 16’ Southern Yellow Pine acetylated pine deck boards with edge groove: ¾ x 6” boards (1” x 5.5”)

****We are selling these in lots of 500 Lft or more at $1.99LFt.**** This was originally out on the market for $3.80/LFt.

This is the future of decking as Ipe and other rainforest woods cannot be replanted sensibly unless you wait 60 years or more.

Southern Yellow Pine grows fast and with the acetylated process can be a formidable and green alternative to woods that take forever to harvest.
