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.

At Somerset Timbers, we believe in giving back to the communities that share our passion for the outdoors.

At Somerset Timbers, we take pride in being a trusted supplier for high-quality timber and fixings. One of our latest projects was supplying materials for The One in Stellenbosch—a luxury student accommodation development.

After weeks of hard work, creativity, and nail-biting competition, Lee-Ann and Johann can finally “breathe” — after being crowned the champions of Klein Paradys Season 1!

If timber were a car, Thermory would be the Rolls-Royce – luxurious, impeccably crafted, and built for those who accept nothing but the best. For architects, builders, and design visionaries looking to elevate their projects, Thermory isn’t just timber; it’s a statement. A statement of sophistication, durability, and world-class innovation.

After a year of hard work and dedication, the Somerset Timbers team is taking some well-earned time to celebrate!

Introducing our latest shipment: Larch Timber! Larch wood is sourced from coniferous trees in the genus Larix, part of the pine family (Pinaceae). There are 10 to 12 different species, all native to the colder areas of the Northern Hemisphere. Unlike the majority of conifers, which stay evergreen, Larch trees are deciduous and shed their needles in the Autumn.

Congratulations to Dorian Toussaint on winning our Somerset Timbers competition! You’ve snagged an amazing Woodoc Hamper valued at R1500!
