Eco Inground Timber Protectant - Tasmanian Supplier

Diggers Eco Inground Timber Protectant is a high-performance, non-hazardous alternative to traditional copper-chrome-arsenic (CCA) treatments. Specifically engineered for timber in direct contact with soil or water, this "bitumen-based" formula provides a powerful, water-resistant barrier that prevents rot, decay, and termite attack in high-moisture environments.

By penetrating the wood fibres and sealing the surface, it creates a long-lasting protective shield that remains flexible and won't crack or peel as the timber moves. Unlike some solvent-based treatments, the "Eco" formula is water-based and low-odour, making it safer to use in sensitive garden areas, vegetable patches, and around livestock.

FAQ's​

  1. Is it safe for vegetable gardens?

    Yes, the Eco Inground formula is non-hazardous and does not contain heavy metals like arsenic, making it a popular choice for raised garden beds and veggie patches.

  2. Can I paint over the protectant?

    No. Because it is a bitumen-based product, it remains slightly tacky and will bleed through or prevent paint and standard stains from adhering to the surface.

  3. Do I need to treat the "cut ends" of treated timber?

    Absolutely. Whenever you cut or drill treated timber (like H4 sleepers), you expose the untreated core. This protectant is essential for re-sealing those ends to maintain the timber's integrity.

  4. How should I apply it for maximum protection?

    For inground posts, it is recommended to coat the timber at least 100mm above and below the ground line, as this is where rot is most likely to occur.

  5. Is it effective against termites?

    Yes, it creates a physical and chemical barrier that is highly resistant to termites and other wood-boring insects.

  6. How do I get it in Tasmania?

    Alltrade Agencies maintains consistent stock in our Brighton warehouse for fast statewide delivery to local landscaping and fencing contractors.
