Pine
At East Brothers, we’ve been working with Pine since our foundation in 1886. Originally Scots Pine and imported varieties from Europe and the Americas, we’ve now settled on primarily cutting Corsican Pine.

Why use Pine
Pine timber, often but not exclusively cut from Corsican pine is a widely cultivated and valued softwood in the UK. Known for its robustness and versatility, pine offers several key qualities that make it a popular choice for fencing.
Our knowledgeable team is ready to help you make the most of Pine for your specific needs. Feel free to reach out for expert advice and guidance on your timber project.

At East Brothers, we maintain a good stock of Pine roundwood, ready to be sawn to your specified dimensions. Our mill specialises in bespoke timber cutting, allowing us to tailor our cutting to your requirements as long as they can be milled from the log.
Our maximum cutting dimensions are:
