Roundwood Solutions

Fencing solutions that are healthier for the user, healthier for the planet and healthier for the hip pocket… #simplycreodonebetter At Roundwood Solutions, we have established our own treatment facility to help save the environment from the toxic effects of traditional post-preservative treatments. The new improved Creosote makes each post more durable, preventing insect attack from borers and the like, is user friendly, has limited odour, is non greasy, has easier handling and is inherently fire resistant. Our new treatment technology allows full cell treatment of the whole post, which is something the end user has been seeking for a long time. This uniform treatment allows for a consistency of performance, resulting in less free-creosote on the outside of the post. Tanapost® are drier to touch, lighter in colour, significantly lower in smell and reduce the exposure of contractors to potentially carcinogenic compounds by up to 90%. Roundwood Solutions' vision in the treated timber sector is to be known as a supplier that provides solutions and does not add to our current day issues of pollution, toxic emissions, and soil degradation. The creosote-based chemical we use, Tanalith-K is mixed with water, not oil, and emulsified into the timber under pressure. The unique boiler uses our by-products of sawdust, pine bark and off cuts, and through pyrolysis and gasification, creates steam for our steamer as well as clean Biochar, which can be used by the agriculture sector as a carbon soak for the next thousand years. Tanapost® presents a cradle to grave scenario with an end-of-life use. Roundwood Solutions can take the post back and burn it in our Bio-Mass boiler to produce the heat used in the treatment process. Tanapost® is the only carbon neutral fencing product on the market today. Roundwood Solutions and Tanapost® is smarter business, offering a superior product, making it the ultimate renewable. It's simply Creosote, done better.
