What is the difference between reclaimed and recycled materials?
Recycled means the materials have to be received, processed and re-fabricated into a new usable material. This takes a lot of energy in many different forms.
Reclaimed Fencing
Locally reclaimed on the other hand means
I receive the materials right before they are on the way to the landfills. I've orchestrated an agreement with several companies to let me pick through their wood heading for the dump to find the best old growth Cedar & Redwood.
The huge difference between new fast growth lumber available today and the old growth lumber which we ran out of 20 years ago:
- Old growth lumber is very very strong and durable, lasts at least 10 times longer than new growth
- It doesn't splinter and the grain doesn't lift and peel if not oiled constantly
- It is beautiful when planed and sanded
- We don't need to cut lumber anymore when there are mountains of wood being thrown away daily
The reclaimed wood we are using came from trees which might have been 1000 years old. Imagine the energy and information stored within it. To be able to assist in using the life of these trees to nurture new life completes a beautiful life circle.
Our standard boxes are approx. 4ft x 4ft and 16 inches or so tall. Custom boxes can be built however you wish using practically any material as long as it is reclaimed. Design is one of my strengths.
