Recommended Usage for Eucalyptus Poles
A native tree species of Australia, eucalyptus is also found in tropical and semi-tropical regions around the world such as Africa, Brazil, Hawaii, as well as parts of South Florida. Eucalyptus is sustainably grown which makes it a perfect product for “green” construction projects.
Eucalyptus poles and timbers are pressure treated using Wolman-E or Tan-E. This treatment deters decay and insects but is safe to use indoors and around animals and people.
The Supply Scout recommends the following projects for eucalyptus poles and timbers: flooring, lumber, interior millwork, cabinetry, plywood, outdoor projects like fencing, panels, latillas, droppers and turned objects.
