New Zealand pine is not naturally durable for exterior uses. But when preservative treated it is totally accepted by architects, engineers, builders, and consumers for virtually all uses, which in the past have required lumber of high natural durability.

In all tests controlled by the New Zealand Forest Research Institute (NZFRI), performance has been equal to or has exceeded that expected of naturally durable species from throughout the world.

CCA is the most widely used water-borne preservative in New Zealand and throughout the world. It is possible to treat New Zealand pine with CCA to a high standard, for any end use.

Roundwood end uses include outdoor furniture, landscaping, garden and farm situations such as posts, reinforcing, fencing and farm buildings as well as transmission and building poles.
