Taiga is not just another landscaping timber supplier.
It started with a simple frustration.
Having worked in landscaping and fencing for over 10 years, Tom has installed hundreds of meters of traditional timber fencing, built pergolas and installed decking areas. He knows what works, what fails and what customers end up replacing far too soon.
Again and again, he found himself using tanalised timber because that was the industry standard. Chemically treated. Green. Meant to last. But over time he began asking a bigger question.
Is this really the best we can do?
Working hands on in gardens every day, you see how timber is used in these spaces and how it performs over time.
Tom wanted an alternative. Something durable. Something premium. Something natural.
That search led him to Thermowood. Traditionally used for cladding and saunas, Thermowood is timber that has been heat treated at high temperatures using only heat and steam. No chemicals. No pressure treatment. Just a natural modification process that improves stability and durability.
Most people were using it to clad houses with, but Tom saw something different.
He saw a fencing and landscaping material that would not warp and twist in the same way as standard treated pine. He saw a deep, rich tone that would weather beautifully. He saw a product that felt honest and 100% natural.
So he decided to build with it.
At our new manufacturing unit in Leicestershire, we started to stock the various Thermowood profiles we know work and build premium fence panels and trellises.
Our fence panel range currently includes:
The design is clean and contemporary, but the build is traditional. Attention to grain direction. Consideration for expansion and movement. The kind of details that only come from experience on site.
For timbers that require ground contact, such as fence posts and gravel boards, we recommend Accoya. It is one of the most stable and durable modified timbers available and provides a solid, long lasting foundation to the fence system. There is little point in building a premium panel if the structure beneath it is ordinary.
Everything we use is chosen for longevity and sustainability.
The name Taiga comes from the great northern forest biome. A vast belt of coniferous forest stretching across the northern hemisphere. It represents resilience, natural cycles and regrowth.
That philosophy runs through everything we do.
We have a deep respect for these natural materials and where they come from and a desire to create something lasting from them.
