Why use WoodBlocX?

We know that nothing lasts as long as stone be we cant all have the expertise or money to build beautiful stone walls. Have a look at our friend Innes Watson's Website to see some amazing stone structures. CLICK HERE.

Durability

WoodBlocX Provides a simple alternative that will last much longer than made-up wooden structures. WoodBlocX is pre drilled and therefore the pressure treatment penetrates almost 100% and it can be expected to last 20 years if not longer. Some people using the same treatment method guarantee their wood for 25 years. But we do not have any BlocX standing that long yet!

Strength

WoodBlocX joints make it superior to any other Wooden garden structures on the market

WoodBlocX has more strength than masonry in some situations because it can withstand tension forces as well as compression. It will not crack with ground movement or frost. WoodBlocX is put together with many joints and each dowel can withstand 0.9 tonnes of shear force. The structure forms a single solid unit that will not easily distort like many other timber products on the market will.

Ease of Use

WoodBlocX is so easy to use that even kids can build with it.

This is where WoodBlocX is head and shoulders above the rest. It is light, easy to carry and all the parts fit into an average car. To put it together you only need a hammer and a couple of other household tools. There is no need for foundations or cement. This makes it really quick to build as there is no waiting around for anything to dry.

Appearance

WoodBlocX is more beautiful than railway sleepers and there are no nasty chemicals

WoodBlocX has a natural attractive appearance. The Wood is rough sawn but in special circumstances we can sand down the capping making it smooth for children. If you want to you can paint it any colour that suits your needs. Because it retains its shape so well WoodBlocX lasts longer and retains its shape than many other more flimsy wooden garden structures you can buy off the shelf.

Cost

WoodBlocX is cheaper than stone and railway sleepers

Natural stone is expensive to buy and to build. WoodBlocX is comparable to Brick and much less expensive than both if you build the BlocX yourself. We know that other wood products are available to buy cheaper but they are not so durable, attractive and most rely on screws and nails and boards. Why use boards when you could use wooden BlocX. You would not build a house out of boards!
