Why do we use Robinia?

Robinia wood has a number of unique properties. Robinia posts from NORNA PLAYGROUNDS consist only of core wood, which is the innermost part of the trunk.

Robina wood is the preferred material because it:

• Lasts a lifetime

• Is resistant to rot

• Has a low CO2 footprint – produced in plantations

• Ranks high on pressure strength

• Has a high resistance to ‘crushing’ pressure

• Has a natural look

Did you know?

A natural Robinia tree has its own natural defence which guards against rot.

This means that toxic treatment can be avoided.

Built to last

Many types of wood have a limited lifetime upon contact with soil.

This is where Robinia wood is different, it has a lifetime of up to 32 years upon contact with soil.
