 TIMBER TECHNOLOGY
The Woodland Enterprise Centre has pioneered modern methods of timber construction, taking advantage of advanced glueing and jointing systems to utilise short sections of small-diameter timber and coppice into high-quality construction components.

Woodland Enterprises have been working in partnership with InWood Developments Ltd, based near Uckfield, E. Sussex, who manufacture finger-jointed local hardwood components, first developed for the Woodland Enterprise Centre. 

ThesE have now been widely adopted in some significant sustainable construction projects, and include bespoke structural glue-lam beams, as well as a range of components for rain screen cladding, and joinery.
