Bringing the future of timber treatment to South Africa.
When we heard that this eco-friendly treatment would be available in South Africa, we knew that we had to try everything possible to bring it to you, our customer.
Leeroy Deane, one of the Pole Yard owners, went on a mission to see how he could make this possible. Forming a new business partnership, Leeroy secured a sawmill which already had a treatment facility. The plant was then converted into a very neat and modern Tanalised™ E treatment facility.
The Pole Yard is proud to be the face of this eco-friendly treatment here in the Western Cape. Although current CCA treatments will continue to dominate due to cost and availability, for those looking for the eco-friendly option, Tanalised™ E is the way to go.

Points & Tips
Once you have cut the treated wood, it is not recommended that you use that end to make any ground contact.
Timber or poles that have been cut or notched out should be resealed with green Enseal.
Any timber products (even pressure treated) should still be coated with a wood seal to protect from weathering, cracking, and twisting.
