CHESTNUT GROVE SAWMILLS
POPLAR – BLUE GUM – WOOD – BEAMS – POLES – FLOORING
Chestnut Grove Sawmills is the leading supplier of sawn Poplar & Blue gum wood to the Western and Eastern Cape, operating 6 state of the art Breakdown and Recovery saws.
Up to 70% of our work is repeat business from timber wholesalers, thatching companies and developers that we have built relationships since 1999.
From traditional A type, through to Cathedral, King Post, king post and Webbed, with or without Tie beams we supply the components; or make them up if need be.

Section sizes – we try our best to offer any sizes up to 250 x 250 / 300 x 300mm
Poplar beams can be square, rectangle, squished, roughly squared edges, and sizes vary from 50 x 150 mm up to 300 x 300 mm. Poplar beams can be aged or natural in colour – they can be covered in popular planks, popular ceilings, Reeds, or have white ceilings overhead.
Poplar ceilings can be aged, Tounge and grooved, or simply be planks that are sanded. All ex 25mm, ex 150 or 200mm widths
Poplar Poles in roofs date back to the late 1600’s – go visit Groot Constantia manor and see what 300 plus year old Poplar poles look like. We use structural poplar poles as beams under flat and pitched ceilings, in thatch roof construction, or in pitched roofs
Not as stable as poplar in my opinion, needs to cure well before use. Hard as anything – but not to be overlooked…
