OUR STORY
We are all searching for a balance in life. The fast pace of modern life forces us to constantly move faster, higher and further. Yet we still have an inner need that directs us to seek true meaning, deep rest, and a peaceful happiness. Nowadays, finding peace of mind is a big challenge. Often, it is difficult to find a calm space where you can rest from your daily struggles and just let things be as they are. Palmako aims to help create this space for you. Your garden is a place where special moments are stored. It is a place to rest, to deeply relax and to spend time with your loved ones. Here, you will connect with your true inner essence, restore your strength and composure in order to face new challenges again. Palmako’s environmentalfriendly wood products are designed to make your garden a special place in your life. Palmako does not only produce garden houses, nor is it limited to complete garden solutions. Palmako produces the joy of being and creates a cozy garden space where you can regain your strength or have a great time with your family and friends.

NORDIC TIMBER
The fragrance of fresh wood is something that takes our minds directly into the nature. The smell of wood also reminds us of a summer walk in the park or in the woods, or brings back a memory of a cozy sauna evening. Palmako products are made of the finest Nordic Spruce, which is known worldwide for its excellent properties. Long, cold winters and short summers of the Nordic countries slow down the growth of trees, which makes the quality of the spruce timber extremely durable and ideal for use in construction. In addition to its wonderful aroma, it is also worth paying attention to its beauty - its crisp, light, northern color and its distinctive grain patterns.

WOOD IS A LIVING MATERIAL
Wood is a living and breathing natural material and therefore sensitive to environmental changes. Many natural processes that occur in wood, continue even after felling and processing. Smaller and larger cracks, color play and structural changes are not quality defects, but are related to the growth of the tree and its natural features. In rainy or wet weather wood expands, with the sun and warmth it shrinks again. This phenomena is also called “playing wood�. This may result in cracks or other visible changes in the wood, but will not affect the strength or durability of the material. In some cases, they may even disappear when the weather conditions change. Modern technology allows the wood to be glued (thinner wood lamellas to be joined with glue) in order to minimize this play. Palmako uses glue laminated wooden posts and beams for the construction of larger garden houses, pavilions, garages and carports, which are aesthetically pleasing and have a better load capacity than conventional wood. Untreated natural wood that has been outdoors for some time may develop a grey layer as well as mould. Palmako aims to give its wood products the longest possible life. Therefore, it is very important to treat it properly from the start to protect it from fungi and insects and to prevent premature rotting. Painting and oiling gives the wood a protective layer as well as a nice tone and emphasizes its natural beauty. To make sure Palmako wood products last as long as possible, special attention should be paid to the installation, usage and maintenance instructions that come with the products.

Find Yours among Palmako’s great wooden products.
Finding the right product from such a large range can be a real challenge. Before you make your choice and purchase, be sure to find answers to the following questions:
FUNCTION Think about the problem you’re solving. Do you need a storage room for tools? Or a product for children? Or something for decorating the garden instead? Or the patio railing?
www.palmako.ee
STYLE What is the environment like in which the product will be used? More classic and conservative or rather modern? If you choose a pre-fabricated product, which colors will dominate the area, and which new colors might fit in there?
SIZE How large is the area where the desired product is placed? How long should the fence be? How many people have to sit at the table?
DETAILS For houses, what is the thickness of the wall? Do the windows have double glazing? Can product functionality be enhanced by additional products?
PRICE What is my budget? Do I have alternatives, how much do they cost? It is always worth remembering that in order to have a good, long lasting and cheap thing, you usually have to buy two things, one good and long lasting, the other cheap this doesn’t really make sense?
