timber for wharfs
G'day all. New to forum with my virgin post. Just wondering if there is any alternative to turpentine for wharf construction. Need to replace some blocking to treads on wharf steps and timber yards don't stock turpentine. I only require a small quantity but it must be 200 x 70 mm.
cheers Jim

Turps is for piles as it is marine borer resistant. The decking is not so critical, many wharves are now being decked in treated pine. any class1 hardwood would be fine.

Swamp Mahogany is apparently a good choice for wharf construction..

Wharf Decking and treads.
Woolybutt was one of the favoured timbers for wharf decking in days past as it is especially tough when back sawn and very durable with heavy loads. Good luck in finding some.

cremorne
I live in cremorne, not far from you.
lI can bring down 2.4m lengths, but are these the lengths you need? You can collect from Cremorne.
What widths and thicknesses?
I'll then pm you a price and contact details and you can take it from there, at least that is an optiion
