WHY QUALITY MACROCARPA MATTERS

Plantation Logs Produce A More Consistent Timber

At MacDirect, we source our logs from sustainable plantations, providing a consistent supply and are able to fill all orders from large to small. The true test of our timber’s reliability is the fact that it is trusted by major timber retailers throughout the country.

Commonly seen "shelter belt" Macrocarpa, are usually sold as a salvage operation. At MacDirect these logs are used for low grade specified timber use.

Sustainably Sourcing Logs Secures The Future Of New Zealand Timber

Sourcing Macrocarpa/Cypress from New Zealand’s best plantations ensures that any trees harvested are quickly and suitably replaced with new growth. There have been consistent plantings of Cypress, especially by NZFF (private farm foresters) in recent years. This is a renewable resource with a 25-30 year life cycle.
