Cladocalyx Pergola Solutions
Clado (Eucalyptus Cladocalyx) is valued for its durability and minimal flaws. The species produces stunning honey-coloured, blonde to tan, or yellow to brown timber. It is regarded as a “Class 1 Heavy Hardwood” with remarkable durability and is suitable for use in exterior building applications as well as heavy marine applications. If cut correctly and without pith, it is relatively stable in drying, unlike many other eucalypts.
It is best suited to circumstances needing significant strength when aesthetics are also crucial. Externally, if left untreated, it will eventually develop a silvery grey colour and it’s grain is finely interlaced. The species is ideally suited to replace previously imported tropical hardwoods used in exterior applications, including Balau, Ekki, Tali, Greenheart, Massranduba, etc. Compared to materials like Meranti, Iroko, Mahogany, Limbali, Sapele, and Garapa, it is significantly superior in external applications.

The Pergola of your dreams can be created entirely from scratch by our Western Cape pergola team, which specialises in designing and constructing one-of-a-kind architectural structures. Our pergolas divide the space beautifully while providing much-needed shade in warm climates. They are a striking focal point that is both functional and fashionable. The great news is that pergolas don’t need planning approval as long as they follow specific criteria, so let Pergola Pro inspire you.
