Creosoted timber is timber that has been treated with creosote, a wood preservative, to protect it from rot,
decay, and insect infestations. It’stypically used for applications like fencing, utility poles, and railway
sleepers due to its long lifespan.

Creosote treatment involves heating the timber and applying creosote
under pressure, which allows the preservative to penetrate deeply.
Here’s a more detailed look:
• Purpose:
Creosote treatment significantly increases the timber’s lifespan, making it
durable and resistant to the elements.
• Process:
The timber is dried, then heated and treated with creosote under pressure,
ensuring deep penetration of the preservative.
• Usage:
Creosoted timber is commonly used for fencing posts, rails, and sleepers
in agricultural settings, as well as for utility poles and railway sleepers.
• Safety:
Creosote is a harmful substance and should be handled with caution,
wearing gloves and avoiding skin contact. It’s not suitable for domestic or
high-contact environments.
• Lifespan:
Creosoted timber can have a lifespan of 20 to 40 years or more, depending
on the product and usage.
