Welcome to Timber Yard Tales — the heart and humour of WBS Henderson, your local timber yard where Little Steve shares weekly stories, handy tips, fun facts, and the occasional dodgy joke. Whether you're a weekend DIYer, a seasoned tradie, or just here for a chuckle, this is where timber meets talk — no hard hats required.
Each week, Little Steve dives into the world of building supplies, from demystifying what "H3.2" means (spoiler: it's treated timber perfect for outdoor use) to explaining the difference between fence palings and decking timber. It's real timber knowledge without the jargon, told like a yarn over the fence with your favourite uncle — helpful, honest, and just a bit cheeky.
After a read, if you’re feeling inspired to get building, check out our shop for timber, fencing, and DIY supplies at trade prices to the public.
How to keep your deck looking smart.
A good deck is an outdoor essential, but if you ignore it, you’ll be barefoot-dancing over splinters in no time. Regular cleaning, sealing, and checking for loose nails will keep it looking fresh.
If you've got kwila, give it a wash to reduce tannin bleed, and avoid using harsh chemicals that strip protective oils. Treat your deck well, and it’ll be your backyard’s best feature for years to come.
Avoid using a high-pressure setting when cleaning. Opt for the lowest setting on your pressure washer or water blaster to protect the timber from splitting or damage.
