Oak sawn wood
– is used mainly for exteriors, sun decks (terraces) and moles as walkway surface (stepping material)
Most suitable utilisation:
The best place for oak stakes is wet (watery) surrounding because there reach oak stakes longer durability (thanks to high water column) then acacia stakes.
Life-time of stakes
Locust stakes – Locust stakes - 30 – 40 years - chopped – GUARANTEE 5 years
Oak stakes – fences, enclosures - 15 years - chopped
Coniferous stakes – fences, enclosures - 5 – 8 years
Surroundings influence, effect – for locust (acacia) ist the best dry surrounding, it is not efficient to hammer (or to drive) acacia wood into the water or into the wet surrounding. Its life-time gets shorter by half. Compared to oak wood - oak pressed into the water or into the wet, watery subgrade could endure up to 50 years.
