Can Be Oiled, Stained, or Finished
Merbau can be maintained with oil or stain to help protect the timber and keep the colour looking fresh.
- Merbau Privacy Screens
A Stylish Way to Create Private Outdoor Spaces
Merbau screens are a great option when you want privacy without making the space feel heavy.
They can be used around patios, decks, pools, courtyards, garden areas, and side boundaries. A well-built Merbau screen can soften the look of a space while still giving you privacy where you need it

- Looking After a Merbau Fence
Simple Care for a Better Long-Term Finish
Merbau is a durable timber, but it still needs care to keep it looking its best. Regular cleaning and occasional oiling or staining can help protect the timber and maintain its rich colour. Over time, untreated timber can naturally weather and change colour.
We can explain the best care approach for your fence depending on the location, sunlight, moisture, and finish you choose.
