26 Oct From Forest to Farm: The Journey of Agricultural Timbers

As the gentle hills of Somerset and the lush landscapes of Devon stretch before us, one can’t help but appreciate the harmonious relationship between the South West’s fertile farmlands and the timber that sustains its agricultural endeavors. At Brookridge Timber, we understand the intrinsic connection between forestry and farming, and we invite you to embark on a journey to explore the remarkable role that agricultural timbers play in this picturesque region.

Timber Species

Agricultural timbers are the unsung heroes of South West farming, with their qualities deeply rooted in the timber species that grace our woodlands. Ac a leading South West timber supplier, we stock timber species that are carefully chosen to withstand the rigours of farm life, making them an essential asset to every farmer in the region.

Timbers in Action

As we journey further into the heart of South West agriculture, it becomes evident that the applications of these timbers are as diverse as the farms themselves. Timber stockwalling, robust and reliable, serves as the backbone of cattle enclosures and barns, ensuring the safety and comfort of livestock. Timber posts, standing tall and strong, support the weight of gates and fencing, securing boundaries and livelihoods. Timber boarding, also known as Yorkshire Boarding, proves its worth in gable cladding and as weather-resistant siding for agricultural buildings. Timber field gates stand as sentinels, welcoming or guarding the passage to pastures and fields. Timber purlins, those unsung heroes of roof construction, shoulder the weight of farm structures and protect against the elements. These timbers are more than just building materials; they are the lifeblood of South West farms.

Regional Resilience

In the ever-changing landscape of farming, the ability to source quality agricultural timbers locally is paramount. The South West, encompassing Somerset and Devon, is not only a hub of agriculture but also a region rich in timber resources. This synergy creates a unique advantage for local farmers, ensuring a steady and accessible supply of the timbers essential to their daily operations. Brookridge Timber’s presence in this region stands as a testament to our commitment to supporting local agriculture.
