Accoya structures

Stand out and perform for years to come

Accoya can be easily machined and manufactured to create large, unique wooden structures and timber art. By utilising joinery techniques such as lamination, finger jointing and steam bending, to name a few, the design possibilities are endless.

Accoya is also a light weight material so all of these properties combined make it a superb choice of material. Not forgetting the industry leading wood warranty of 50 years above ground and 25 years in ground and fresh water.

Highly durable

Accoya wooden structures and timber art are made to last, despite constant exposure to the elements.

Low maintenance

Accoya wooden structures deliver all the beauty of natural wood with none of the downsides. That means minimal upkeep and maximum beauty.

Non toxic

Accoya wood is 100% non toxic and therefore environmentally safe for the planet and for people as there is no leaching of nasty chemicals.

Case Study

The fire watchtower

Accoya wood was the material of choice for the railings, balustrades, and cladding for this striking wooden structure.

The fire watchtower; the ultimate contrast to the steel truss construction frame. This timber architecture has used a variation of wood thicknesses and spacing to create a sophisticated look and thanks to the colour and material combination of Accoya wood, the tower harmonises beautifully with the surrounding natural landscape.

A fully factory coating is strongly recommended for Accoya wooden structures. A variety of colours and finishes have been tested by leading coating manufacturers with outstanding results. Some examples can be seen below but the possibilities are endless.

Case Study

Curved Accoya wood climbing structure

This unique, sustainable and engaging outdoor space features custom-designed outdoor wood play structures. Fabricated by Curvwood using Accoya wood, curved glulam beams and battens were used to produce the impressive Play Pod structure.

It was imperative that the Play Pod wooden climbing structure not only looked impressive but was made from a material with good stability, high durability in often harsh conditions and sustainability credentials. Accoya was the obvious choice.
