You’ll Never Look at Wood the Same After Learning About Thermowood

Table Mountain Cable Car boardwalk upgrade projects don’t just improve infrastructure—they elevate the experience of visiting one of South Africa’s most iconic landmarks. The City of Cape Town recently completed a major upgrade to the boardwalk leading to the Table Mountain Cable Car, and Somerset Timbers is proud to have supplied the materials that helped bring the project to life.

We had the absolute joy of spending the day with the incredible children at Goeie Hoop Child and Youth Care Centre—a place that offers safety, support, and love to children who’ve faced more than most at a young age. Goeie Hoop provides a stable environment where kids can thrive, heal, and be reminded that they matter.

At Somerset Timbers, we believe in growth—not just in the timber we supply but also in the people who make it all happen. This month, we’re proud to introduce a new team member and celebrate the achievements of two of our dedicated employees.

Let’s talk about the unsung hero of sustainability—wood. Not just as the ultimate classic building material but as a climate solution, a design staple, and a key player in the current, and more importantly, future of eco-living.
