Spotted Gum Timber Perth
Spotted Gum Supplies
Spotted Gum is derived from four different timbers grown along the eastern states of Australia. Known for its varied striking colours, strength and durability, it is a popular choice for residential applications, builders and architects. As experts in timber decking, the Timber Decking Supply Shed stock only the finest Spotted Gum supplies Perth has available.
Colours & Characteristics
Spotted Gum has characteristics that include a wavy grain and varied markings. Because it involves a mixture of various hardwood timbers, its colours can range significantly, from off-whites and creams to pale straw tones, right through to darker browns.
Low Surface Staining
Spotted Gum is less likely to experience tannin bleeding than other Australian eucalypt species. This reduces the risk of bricks or other materials staining when water runs from the timber to the neighbouring surfaces.
Strength & Durability
As a Class One native hardwood, Spotted Gum offers strength and durability that you won’t find in many other hardwood timbers. It is exceptionally robust, with a density of 950 kg/m³ and a hardness rating of 11. As a popular choice within the building and construction sector, it is also easy to machine and carve.
Australian & Eco-Friendly
Our Spotted Gum decking is only sourced from trusted Australian suppliers in Victoria and Queensland. It is 100% plantation grown to ensure the long-term integrity of the forest’s biodiversity. In addition to eco-friendly Spotted Gum supplies, we can also source and supply Australian Ironbark, Blackbutt, Darwin Stringybark and other timbers produced under Ecologically Sustainable Forest Management principles.
Maintenance & Care
Spotted Gum decking should be oiled before installation and secured with appropriate fasteners to ensure longevity. Spotted Gum decking can last for up to 40 years when placed in an area with good ventilation, minimal exposure to harsh weather conditions, and low moisture levels. Like all Australian hardwood timbers, it should be sealed every 6 to 12 months, depending on usage, traffic and exposure to weather.
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.
