Merbau Timber Perth
Merbau Decking Supplies
Timber Decking Supply Shed boasts the finest Merbau timber Perth has available. Our warehouse in High Wycombe is stocked with a wide range of Australian and imported hardwood timbers, decking hardware, supplies and sealers/oils.
Colour & Characteristics
Merbau, known as Kwila, boasts a unique dark red/brown colour. Somewhat similar to Jarrah, it is lighter and with fewer characteristics.
Strength & Uses
Merbau is a Class 1 hardwood and is termite resistant, which is ideal for the harsh Western Australian climate. It is also a tannin-rich hardwood making it extremely stable and non-problematic. As a result, it performs exceptionally well and is highly regarded for use in extreme weather conditions, including coastal areas. Merbau is used for timber decking and is also available in structural sizing for posts, beams and balustrading profiles.

Is Merbau Eco-Friendly?
We aim to ensure that our suppliers of all Merbau decking products hold Forestry Stewardship Certification (FSC) accreditation, ensuring that the Merbau timber decking products we supply to you are socially and environmentally sustainable.
Merbau is an Indonesian timber and has not yet been granted Australian FSC accreditation. The Ministry of Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia has its own sustainability accreditation system, which aims to combat illegal logging and maintain sustainable Indonesian forest resources for the overall sustainable development of the country. All our imported Merbau timber decking has been granted an SVLK (Timber Legality Verification System) status from Indonesia.

Maintenance & Care
Although Merbau is extremely strong and stable, it is high in oily tannins, which can tend to leak if not treated with a tannin-blocking sealer. This is especially important if your deck is constructed around a swimming pool or near limestone.
If you’re looking for a high-quality DIY sealer, The Timber Decking Supply Shed Timber Restorer and Sealer is a waterborne sealer that provides exceptional results.

“It is very a rare and beautiful thing to be so warmly welcomed into a business by the owner operator and have them be so generous in sharing their time and wealth of knowledge on timber, preparation, finishing products etc. The selection of different woods, sizes and alternative materials is fantastic and the pricing competitive. All with the added bonus of being able to take away samples for viewing in-situ. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Paul (Timber Decking Supply Shed) and can’t wait to work with him on my upcoming pool/verandah decking.”
