Frequently Asked Questions — Specifications
What timber durability class are Auscraft picnic tables?
Auscraft picnic tables are built from Durability Class 1 species under AS 5604 — the highest above-ground outdoor durability rating available in Australian timber. Species include Ironbark (Grey and Red), Spotted Gum and Merbau. Class 1 means 25+ years above-ground service life in typical Australian outdoor conditions with annual oiling maintenance. This is the same durability class required in most council and government outdoor furniture specifications.
