Think timber is only for traditional fencing? Think again. 🌲
Modern timber design is all about combining clean lines, natural materials and thoughtful proportions to create spaces that look great without losing the character of timber.
From a statement entranceway to a contemporary pergola, timber can bring warmth and structure to modern New Zealand properties.
Here are a few ways to use timber in your next project:
🏡 1. Modern Entranceways
Make the entrance to your property a feature.
Oversized timber posts, clean lines and a well designed gate can create a strong first impression while complementing the surrounding landscape.
🌲 2. Contemporary Post & Rail Fencing
Post and rail fencing doesn't have to look old fashioned.
With the right proportions, spacing and quality timber, INTERLOCK® Post & Rail Fencing can create a clean, modern boundary that works beautifully with contemporary homes and landscaping.
⚒️ 3. Feature Pergolas
Use substantial timber beams to create defined outdoor living spaces.
A well designed pergola can add structure and shade while bringing a natural architectural element into your outdoor area.
🪵 4. Architectural Timber Features
Timber can be used to create statement structures, feature frames and custom elements that turn an ordinary space into something distinctive.
Custom milling gives builders and designers more flexibility when standard timber sizes simply aren't enough.
🏡 5. Timber + Modern Landscaping
One of the strengths of timber is how naturally it works with other materials.
Pair timber with:
Concrete
Gravel
Stone
Steel
Native planting
The combination can create a modern look while keeping the warmth and natural character of timber.
💪 Modern doesn't mean sacrificing strength.
