Hardwood Posts and Beams
Large-format hardwood posts and beams, milled to order for architectural, structural and landscape applications.
Hardwood Timbers NZ supplies extremely durable Australian hardwood posts and beams in recycled, reclaimed and sustainably sourced new timber. Each piece is selected and milled to suit the project, whether you are working on a pergola, exposed beam detail, retaining wall, landscape feature, bridge, wharf, jetty or large-scale outdoor structure.
Available in a range of naturally durable hardwood species, our posts and beams are chosen for their strength, longevity and natural character.
Milled to Order
Our hardwood posts and beams can be custom milled to suit your required size, finish and application.
Options include recycled hardwood with aged patina and original character, reclaimed timber with a cleaner architectural finish, and new green sawn hardwood for larger structural and outdoor projects.
Sizes are subject to species, availability and project requirements.
Recycled hardwood posts and beams offer strong character and a proven history of use. Often reclaimed from wharves, bridges and large structural projects, these timbers can show bolt holes, weathered surfaces, aged colour, checking and natural wear from their previous life.
They are ideal for projects where strength, texture and authenticity are part of the design.
Recycled Hardwood Posts and Beams
Suitable for:
Pergolas
Landscape structures
Feature beams
Posts and bollards
Retaining and garden features
Outdoor seating
Architectural details
Rustic structural features
Reclaimed hardwood offers a more refined option while still retaining the strength and character of real hardwood timber. Pieces can be selected and milled to suit the look of the project, from rustic and textured through to cleaner dressed or brushed finishes.
This option works well for residential and architectural projects where the timber is visible and forms part of the finished design.

New Green Sawn Hardwood
For large-scale exterior and structural applications, we supply sustainably sourced new green sawn hardwood in naturally durable species.
This timber is well suited to demanding outdoor environments such as wharves, jetties, bridges, retaining, heavy landscaping and large exposed structures.
Available species may include Grey Ironbark, Red Ironbark, Spotted Gum, Blackbutt, Tallowwood, Red Bloodwood, Turpentine and Grey Gum, subject to availability.
Timber Species
Species are selected to suit the application, durability requirements, finish and appearance of the project.
Common hardwood species include:
Spotted Gum
Grey Ironbark
Blackbutt
Tallowwood
Grey Gum
For exposed exterior use, species selection is important. We can help match the right hardwood to your project based on durability, size requirements, availability and finish.
Finish Options
Hardwood posts and beams can be supplied in a range of finishes depending on the timber source and intended use.
Available finishes may include:
Rustic recycled finish
Wire brushed or sandblasted finish
Sawn finish
Dressed finish
Hand-brushed finish
Natural weathered finish
Recycled hardwood can retain more of its original surface character, while reclaimed and new hardwood can be milled for a cleaner or more architectural look.
Built for Demanding Conditions
Australian hardwoods are valued for their strength, density and natural durability. Used across residential, commercial, landscape and marine-style projects, they provide a long-lasting timber option for applications where performance matters as much as appearance.
From large pergolas and exposed outdoor beams to wharf timbers and landscape structures, hardwood posts and beams bring weight, strength and natural character to a project.
