We supply New Zealand vineyards (such as Pernod Ricard Winemakers – Church Road) with NON-TREATED Class 1 (25-year in-ground durability – 40 years plus out of ground durability) reclaimed hardwood timbers. These timbers are milled from heartwood (not sapwood) and are a mix of Tallowwood, Spotted Gum and Iron Bark.

These hardwood timbers are a superior alternative to chemically treated posts – particularly for organic / boutique vineyards. There has been a real move away from CCA treated posts, firstly because of leaching into the soil, but also because of the difficulty of disposing of old/broken posts. Posts can get broken by mechanical harvesting, and because they are chemically treated, they cannot be burnt or buried. Our non-treated hardwood means that at the end of the post/strainers/stays lifecycle, the reclaimed hardwood can be repurposed or used as firewood without any nasty off-gassing chemicals!

About the
Seller

Passionate about sustainability, LMA Timber offers a superior selection of hardwood products tailored for the construction industry. We have collaborated carefully selected Australian Hardwood suppliers in Australia, all recipients of numerous awards for their commitment to delivering high-quality reclaimed and sustainable timber.

Established in 2017, our business originated from inspiration drawn from a Grand Designs episode featuring reclaimed Australian hardwood cladding. A subsequent investigation revealed that the main timber cladding options in New Zealand primarily consisted of high-maintenance softwoods (class 2 – 15 to 40 years naturally durable), such as cedar, larch, and thermally modified products. The discovered hardwood, distinguished by its superior performance, durability, low maintenance, and sustainable attributes, marked the beginning of our success story. Today, architects, designers, and builders widely regard it as their number one choice for not only cladding but structural beams, posts, decking, flooring amongst other hardwood products.

In October 2019 when LMA Timber joined forces with the Caldwell Group (AKA Trade Co), owners of ITM Dyers Road, VIP Frame and Truss amongst other businesses. With a combined experience of 40 years, this partnership enhances our market position, allowing us to provide unparalleled value and service to our customers. Regarded as being the largest and most trusted supplier of reclaimed / sustainably sourced Australian hardwoods, our reputation is firmly enforced by the prestigious projects we have been involved with around New Zealand

Our main warehouse along with purpose built showroom is based in Christchurch.  This allows us to carry large volumes of stock (particularly cladding and decking) so that we can meet your projects needs in a timely fashion. Our second purpose built showroom is currently under construction and will be opened towards the end of April 2024. Additionally, we share a showroom in Auckland with High Performer Building where a sample of our products can also be viewed.

At ArchiPro we recognise and acknowledge the existing, original and ancient connection Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have to the lands and waterways across the Australian continent. We pay our respects to the elders past and present. We commit to working together to build a prosperous and inclusive Australia.
