Ironbark

Red ironbark is one of the seven timbers that have passed the test in AS/NZS 3837 to be classed as bushfire-resisting and therefore is suitable for external exposed elements up to and including BAL-29 (eg. wall cladding, decking, etc).

service life

The probable service life of F14 unseasoned hardwood will depend on the species of timber, so it's hard to draw a comparison with H3 treated pine without knowing the hardwood's species and Durability Class. Using seasoned hardwood instead of unseasoned hardwood would eliminate, or at least greatly reduce, problems of twisting but at greater cost and reduced workability. H3 pine is typically treated by a LOSP process and the service life predicted in our Technical Design Guide assumes regular maintenance, avoidance of water traps and protection of end-grain.
