Coastal Protection & Landscape Design: Douglas Excellence by Woodspars

Faced with the challenges of erosion and extreme weather conditions on the Normandy coast, Woodspars deploys its solid wood expertise.

**The Challenge: Taming the Marine Elements**
-
Coastal protection, particularly in Normandy, imposes severe technical constraints. Materials must withstand repeated assaults from tides, air salinity, and violent winds, while integrating harmoniously into preserved landscapes. It is in this demanding context that **Woodspars** intervenes, offering a durable and aesthetic alternative to concrete or steel: Douglas fir wood.

**The Woodspars Solution: The Strength of Douglas Fir**
-
For this coastal protection project, Woodspars selected and crafted Douglas fir beams with very large sections. This softwood, renowned for its exceptional mechanical properties and natural durability (rot-resistant red heartwood), is the ideal material for humid and marine environments.
-
In addition to its robustness, the choice of Douglas fir allows for gentle landscape integration. The wood develops a patina over time, taking on a silver-gray hue that blends into the granite setting without denaturing the site.
-
**Custom Expertise**

As specialists in spars and structural timber, Woodspars doesn't just supply wood; we select the best logs to guarantee the straightness and strength of each piece.
-
- **Custom sawing:** Substantial sections adapted to earth retention and breakwaters.
- **Durability:** Natural resistance to biological attacks, limiting the need for heavy chemical treatments.
- **Aesthetics:** A rough-sawn or planed finish that enhances the wood grain.
