About Us

About Loughwood

Loughwood Ltd are a family run business based in Northern Ireland. .

We are a leading supplier of redwood treated fencing throughout the U.K and Ireland and the sole importer for the unique Octo posts, the only fencing post with a 25 year guarantee. We also supply post and rail fencing primarily for equestrian applications.

All of our products are manufactured to the highest quality from Swedish redwood which is kiln dried and pressure treated with Tanalith E or Tanasote. This treatment process ensures a fence that really does last a lifetime.

All our timber is sourced from carefully managed forests in Sweden, which have been inspected and certified to ensure their sustainability. We also sell products that are made to last for decades to ensure that the trees we use are put to the best possible use, and only the minimum amount are felled. The tanasote timber used in all our products is unpalatable to livestock, including horses, which reduces the risk of your new fence being chewed upon.

We are approved to supply farm fencing under the NSAI’s specification 436:2007. NSAI inspectors have visited our forests in Sweden to confirm that our products meet the agreed standards for the type of timber, size and diameter of the wood, timber preservatives and method of pre-treatment drying used.

All our fencing posts are only available through your local agri stores and merchants throughout the entire country. If you are unsure of your local Octo post stockist contact us and we can help.

The Loughwood Story

We Pride Ourselves On Looking Long-Term.

We are one of the first importers to use the new generation Tanasote which is more sustainable, environmentally friendly and better for the environment. All our posts have been pressure treatment, which is the method used on telegraph poles and railway sleepers because of its effectiveness in preserving timber that is constantly exposed to the elements. The Tanasote treatment protects against microbes causing the wood to rot and stops the fence absorbing water. That means it is equally hard for the weather to damage a Loughwood fence as it is for your livestock.

Our customers from the Republic of Ireland could be entitled to a government grant to fund or partially fund their purchase since our products have been approved by the National Standards Association for Ireland.
