Black Wattle Firewood, Wooden Poles and Wattle Screens

Firewood

Our speciality is Black Wattle firewood. We sell 10 kg plastic bags to people for braais and barbeques as the coals burn hot and produce heat long enough to have an enjoyable braai.

Wattle is also ideal for use in home fire places because the wood does not splinter/shatter and produces a hot fire to warm the home. Meduim wood is slightly larger that the standard 10kg bag size, but is perfect for home fire places. Remember wider logs burn longer and thinner hotter and faster.

Larger logs are sold for Bonfires.

Wooden Poles 

Wooden poles are produced from length of 1,2m to over 4m. Widths of up to 15 cm can be accommodated. Poles come either as is or with the bark removed. It is recomended that you have the bark removed especially if the wood is to be treated. Wood poles are used as tomato poles, post and rail fences and in other wooden constructions.  Contact Us if you would like some wattle poles.

Wattle Screens and Woven panels

We make three types of Wattle screens or panels.

1. Wattle Roll Panels with threaded wire.
   
   • No nails no fuss !. Holes are drilled 5cm from either end of the wattle stick, both facing the same direction. Wire is then threaded thru the holes with a 15cm overlap on either side. They are then rolled up for handling. Errecting is a synch, just unroll and lift into place. Make seamless fences easily !
2. Wattle Sreens nailed onto a frame.
   • Normal Wattle Screens are made by nailing wooden droppers or sticks to a wattle wood frame. This makes for an eye catching, rigid screen.
3.  Wattle Screens woven on a frame. 
   • When wet wattle is quite flexable and bendable. This is when Woven Wattle Screens can be made. The reid like sticks are mouded onto the wood frame to produce a very eye catching sturdy panel. Whats nice is the wattle sticks applying pressure is what holds the panel together. We do nail the loose ends for safety sake.
