AVS Fencing Blog

Did you know that timber fence posts are only as good as the chemical treatment they have received? Please beware! There are some very poorly treated posts on the market although they may look alike – appearances can be deceptive.

What do AVS ensure for you? All our posts are kiln dried prior to treatment to accept the treatment deep into the post. We have launched a range of timber fence posts that have been through a brand new treatment process for longer life. We use carefully selected pine (redwood) posts which have been kiln dried (to around 28% moisture content). The posts are then treated with a special ACQ treatment process to give the fence posts virtually total protection from fungal decay and insect damage. All this means that your Garden fencing will be the envy of all your neighbours.

Here a are a few interesting facts about timber which we sourced from the UK Timber Frame Association.

1. Did you know that wood is effectively a carbon-neutral material (even if you allow for transport)?


2. Did you know that 77% of the energy used in the production of wood products comes from wood residues and recovered wood?


3. Did you know that concrete uses five times as much energy, and steel uses six times more energy to produce than timber?


4. The beauty of wood is that when it has reach the end of it's life it can be easily recycled.

There you go, who thought that we 'would' help you with your pub quiz knowledge!
