Why use White Cypress Pine?

Naturally Termite Resistant: Contains natural oils that resist white Termites.
Class 2 In-Ground & class 1 above-ground Durability: Life expectancies of 15–25 years in-ground and 40+ years above ground.
Low Shrinkage Rate: A very low 2.6% shrinkage rate means minimal warping.
F7 Structural Rated: A moderately hard softwood (Janka rating ~6.4 kN)
Sustainably Sourced: Forest-certified and affordable Australian timber.

Are You Getting What You Paid For?

Not all cypress is the same — and it's worth knowing the difference before it goes in the ground.
Cypress Macrocarpa
✘ Not native to Australia — originally from California, commonly grown here as farm windbreaks rather than purpose-grown for structural use
✘ Class 3 durability: rated for 5–15 years
✘ Higher rot risk once buried
✘ Best suited to above-ground use
✘ Needs time to weather before painting
Australian White Cypress
✔ Native Australian species, naturally suited to our conditions
✔ Sustainably harvested from managed Australian forests
✔ Class 2 in-ground (15–25 yrs), Class 1 above-ground (40+ yrs)
✔ Naturally rot- and termite-resistant — no chemicals needed
✔ Built for both in-ground and above-ground use
✔ Ready to paint or stain from day one

100% Chemical Free & End-of-Life Safe

White Cypress Pine is a naturally durable timber — rated Class 1 above ground and Class 2 in-ground — and already contains the natural resins needed to protect it from fungi, insects, and decay. That makes it a genuinely chemical-free choice: no hazardous treatments like CCA are used at all.

To help it last a lifetime, we recommend adding a non-hazardous protective paint — such as Bondall or Diggers Eco — to the buried section of your post. Even on the highest-rated in-ground timbers, this is the most effective way to get the longest possible lifespan.
