INSPIRATION
DECKING
NATURAL LIVING
PlaceMakers stocks radiata pine timber products from sawmills which source their logs
from New Zealand’s sustainably managed forests. PlaceMakers also offers hardwood
decking options from legally verified sources including Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
Please see our website, www.placemakers.co.nz for more details.
Wood from sustainably managed forests is the ultimate sustainable building material. As a
tree grows, it removes and stores carbon dioxide from the air, helping reduce carbon levels in
the atmosphere. Harvesting and using the timber locks away carbon and prevents its release
back into the atmosphere. Replanting the forests continues the cycle of removal and storage.

TRANSLUCENT ROOFING
TIMBER SELECTION GUIDE
PERGOLAS
CONSUMER INFORMATION AND HANDLING GUIDE FOR
CCA PRESSURE TREATED TIMBER
The Chromated Copper Arsenate (CCA) preservative used to treat outdoor radiata pine reacts
with the wood to form chemical complexes that are highly insoluble and leach resistant. The
CCA preservative penetrates deeply into and will remain in the wood for a long period of
time. However, some preservative may migrate from the preserved wood into surrounding soil
over time and there may also be incidental contact with skin during construction or use.
Pergolas are a useful and attractive addition to any garden setting. They offer a focus and
architectural form in a flat garden. They can also provide shelter over a doorway or can be
used as a gazebo when a roof in clear corrugated material is added.

FIRTH DESIGNER SERIES
PALERMO™ PAVER
Firth PalermoTM pavers are the largest of our stylish
and honed range. Based on the size and shape
of the Courtyard Flagstone, Palermo consists of an
aggregate mix that contains white limestone which is
honed to create a high quality look.
• 450 x 450 x 50mm

• Available colours: Mezzanotte, Chiaro
Available colours:
Our range will help you create stylish
patios, courtyards, paths, driveways and
parking areas. Typically, pavers used for
traffic areas will be smaller format and
thicker to withstand the weight, while
pedestrian-only areas require a thinner
paver for ease of installation.
Then, there’s the shape, size, colour and
laying patterns which effect the overall
look and performance. PlaceMakers can
advise you which pavers are best suited
to your requirements.
The colour, texture or finish of these products may differ slightly from that advertised. Visit your nearest PlaceMakers store to view samples prior to ordering. Price varies on alternative size, colour and style

WETCAST PAVERS
Wetcast pavers suit a number of applications and are particularly ideal for patios, pool
areas, paths, entrance ways and garden edging. Wetcast pavers generally come in a larger
format than most traditional pavers. Many of the pavers in the wetcast range feature slip
resistant qualities which reduce accidents around pool areas and other parts of the home.

TIMBER FENCING
FENCE PANELS
POSTS AND RAILS
Pre-made fence panels are a visually appealing product and offer the same security and
shelter as a standard timber fence. Some types of fence panels can be difficult or impossible
to cut to size, so take time to layout the fence properly and allow for the width of your panels.
(You will need help when attaching fence panels to the posts). There are a few options for
fixing your fence panels depending on their size and weight, so ask one of our staff members.
These form the framework for most styles like paling, picket and trellis fences. All timber
posts must be at least H4 treated. H3.2 is adequate for rails. With both posts and rails, all
cut ends should be treated with a timber preservative. Never sink the sawn end of a post
into the ground.

• Spade/post hole borer
Building a fence is not difficult. It requires
just a few standard hand tools (though a
post hole borer and a circular saw will
make the job easier) and a methodical
approach. A “dry build” is a good idea
– lay your fencing out before you start to
ensure measurements are correct.

TIMBER RETAINING WALLS
RETAINING WALLS
SLEEPERS
In recent times retaining walls have become an integral part of any garden design. They are
perfect for creating a focal point in your garden, highlighting a special feature or levelling
off areas to create a flat lawn. Retaining walls are great for creating terracing and raised
gardens where space is limited. On a steep site, they give your garden structure, highlight
natural features and help control soil erosion. Best of all, they’re low maintenance, easy to
build and they last for years.
There are a variety of sleepers available with the most common being hardwood,
macrocarpa and radiata pine. It is vital to assess if the sleeper application is purely aesthetic
in which case any species will do, accepting that untreated sleepers will breakdown over
time. However, if the use is for more structural retaining applications and longevity is
required then it is recommended that treated radiata pine sleepers are used.

Materials
It is best to purchase your retaining
wall blocks from one place and from
the same batch if possible. Below are
your three main materials:
• Retaining wall blocks
• Drainage coil
HELPFUL HINTS
• Concrete
• Terraced retaining walls will let more
light into an area rather than one
high wall.
•R
aised beds showcase plants and
are better for vegetable gardens in
particular, as they improve drainage.
• T he modular shape and design of Firth
retaining walls means you can install
them yourself.
•R
etaining walls require little
maintenance but if you need to clean
them, use a pre-emergent spray and
low-pressure water.

MICRO IRRIGATION - SMART WATERING
The Wetta Micro Irrigation system combines years of knowledge and expertise to provide
a one stop shop from your tap to your plants, helping to keep your garden consistently
hydrated. The intuitive colour-coded products clearly communicate the type of kit, whether a
spray kit, drip kit or connect kit, to help you to easily identify your irrigation needs.

Before you go any further you need to
know how much water each tap can
supply per minute – this will determine
how many pipe lines or zones you may
need based on watering type.
Using a 9L bucket, turn each tap on full
then time how many seconds it takes to
fill the bucket.
