Treated wooden poles and timber: our services

We supply Africa with timber

Nestled in the warm heart of the Mpumalanga province of South Africa, we are surrounded by eucalyptus plantations, the perfect supply for our preservation plant. We deliver our timber products to satisfied clients all over southern Africa and the African continent.

Treated timber products

Our pressure treatment processes ensure that your wooden poles last longer. We have the treatment levels for different wood uses and our products undergo numerous quality checks to ensure excellence.

Wood for sale

Our wood is for sale for a number of different applications. Whether you use our timber for electrical transmission and distribution, telecommunication, wood fencing, agriculture, or other purposes, you can be assured of our superior quality.

Energy to Africa

Our timber is used to produce transmission poles. These poles support electricity transmission lines and can bring power to areas that have never had electricity before. Our wood is for sale to both utility companies and contractors. Contractors or suppliers who supply these utility companies with line hardware and components also purchase a large part of our lumber.

Connecting people

Our lumber products also include wooden poles to support telecommunication lines. Telecom providers purchase our timber directly in order to erect lines for their fibre network, or contractors do so on their behalf.
Our timber products connect people, allowing families to share their lives across far distances and enabling business communication across Africa.

Uplift communities

Working together to uplift communities. Wherever we go, our quality products contribute to the upliftment of the local communities, providing power and communication where they have never been before.

Treated wooden poles made in Commondale, delivered across Africa

Vuka Timbers manufactures pressure-treated eucalyptus poles at our plant in Commondale, Mpumalanga, just outside Paulpietersburg. Every pole is cut to size before treatment, impregnated with CCA or creosote in a vacuum-pressure cycle, and checked for the ACT stamp of approval before it leaves our yard. With about 30 years of experience, we supply utilities, contractors, farmers and builders throughout South Africa and the rest of Africa.

What our treated poles are used for

Electricity transmission and distribution: wooden poles that carry power lines to towns and rural areas.
Telecommunication and fibre: poles for telephone and fibre network roll-outs.
Fencing and agriculture: fencing poles, droppers and vineyard poles that stand up to wet soil and termites.
Construction: poles for decks, carports, pergolas and timber-frame buildings.
