DPR is a new generation range of structural building products free of the annoying defects common to traditional hardwood.

DPR products are made from specially selected low shrinkage hardwood species, planed with a smooth surface and 'pencil rounded' edges. Specialised sawing technology guarantees timber which is strong and accurate to size.

Using DPR products will speed up construction by eliminating most preparation work.

They are available for use as framing, sub floor framing, roof trusses, lintels, rafters, battens, posts and decking. DPR products are particularly popular for pergolas, decks, exposed joists and pole home framing.
