As we come to the end of another year, we would like to thank all of our customers that have supported us this year.  It has been a particularly strange year for us here, with staff changes and price hikes, but we have done it!!! 

We will be closing down for the Christmas break on Thursday 22nd December at 12pm.
​We re-open Tuesday 3rd January at 8am to resume business as usual.

We hope everyone has a great Christmas and New Year from all of us here at The Wood Yard

​

Whilst the supply of Siberian Larch has stopped since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, we at The Wood Yard have been able to supply pre conflict Larch to a variety of Cladding jobs throughout 2022.  The picture attached shows a Vertical T&G profile which, untreated, will silver over time.   For more images and examples of the weathering process please visit www.thewoodyard.org/recent-examples.html

We have continued to offer homegrown Larch throughout 2022 (albeit at higher prices than previously due to the scarcity of the imported Larch)  we can also offer suitable alternatives such as

Western Red Cedar
Lignia
Thermawood
Douglas Fir
All these can be machined to different profiles unlike the homegrown options which suit Feather Edge, Wane Edge and Square Edge sections only due their higher moisture content.
Professional versus Trade MDF
Here at The Wood Yard we always try to stock High Density  or Professional Medium Density Fibreboard.  Whilst Trade / Lightweight MDF is a cheaper alternative, the Professional grade is more dense, flatter and ideal for applications such as Shop Fitting.  As we cut many boards to size here, Professional MDF is more stable, offers a smooth finish and makes it easy to paint.

If you need pegs this is the place to come!! Order placed this morning for 500 pegs and Ben whipped them up and they are all done ready for collection!!! We do keep a small stock of pegs and as you can see it doesn't take our lads long to whip them up!!!!

We will eventually be branching out into TikTok so watch this space :)

If you have been keeping an eye on our social media platforms, you will have seen quite a bit of hype about our recent Larch deliveries to the Wirral!! 
This was a large job which involved Larch sections so large it had to be cut straight from the log. We often provide materials for jobs like these, so we could not wait to share the images of the finished product with you all!

The horizontal beams of this structure have been left untreated, and will eventually be home to climbing plants and foliage. However, the vertical sections were sanded, and treated with a UV protection weather stain. This will delay the red hues of the Larch fading to the weathered silver colour that untreated Larch turns when exposed to the elements. 
We think you will agree this is a beautiful job well done!!!
For more information on Larch, other species of timber and larger cut sections, please get in touch!!!

​Here at The Wood Yard we stock a wide range of plywoods, Mdf, OSB etc and with our on-site cutting facility offer a wide variety of sizes.
We stock higher grade panels and when choosing your plywood its worth considering these three important factors;
Face Veneer – our plywood has B/BB grade Hardwood veneers.
Core - the core is Eucalyptus, a solid hardwood which means boards are more stable and ideal for cutting
Glue Line / Bond - our plywoods have a strong Class 2 bond designed for humid conditions, allowing occasional wetting or condensation.
We also stock Marine Plywood which has the best, Class 3 bond which allows for Permanent exposure to the weather or constant wetting.
Whatever application you have, at The Wood Yard we can find the right product for you and potentially avoid costly replacement or delamination.

With the impending hit of a huge storm heading our way, we have placed a large order of glass!  This should be delivered in the next week or so ready to replace the damage caused by the high winds we are forecast.

Please remember, we stock 24" x 24" and 24" x 18" ready cut, and our glass staff can provide cutting to size Monday to Friday.

​We hope everyone stays safe during the bad weather!

​During lockdown demand for both timber / composite decking and claddings was very high as people stayed at home and invested in their gardens.  This year the trend has continued and we’ve been able to supply timber for external structures such as loggias, Pergodas and Gazebos.  The images below show some examples which we hope you’ll agree add a great deal to the space.


If you have a project in mind or are looking for some advice on how to achieve structures such as these, please call in – we can offer ideas and put you in touch with trades people who specialise in this type of work.
