You’ll Never Look at Wood the Same After Learning About Thermowood

Table Mountain Cable Car boardwalk upgrade projects don’t just improve infrastructure—they elevate the experience of visiting one of South Africa’s most iconic landmarks. The City of Cape Town recently completed a major upgrade to the boardwalk leading to the Table Mountain Cable Car, and Somerset Timbers is proud to have supplied the materials that helped bring the project to life.

We had the absolute joy of spending the day with the incredible children at Goeie Hoop Child and Youth Care Centre—a place that offers safety, support, and love to children who’ve faced more than most at a young age. Goeie Hoop provides a stable environment where kids can thrive, heal, and be reminded that they matter.

At Somerset Timbers, we believe in growth—not just in the timber we supply but also in the people who make it all happen. This month, we’re proud to introduce a new team member and celebrate the achievements of two of our dedicated employees.

Let’s talk about the unsung hero of sustainability—wood. Not just as the ultimate classic building material but as a climate solution, a design staple, and a key player in the current, and more importantly, future of eco-living.

At Somerset Timbers, we believe in giving back to the communities that share our passion for the outdoors.

At Somerset Timbers, we take pride in being a trusted supplier for high-quality timber and fixings. One of our latest projects was supplying materials for The One in Stellenbosch—a luxury student accommodation development.

After weeks of hard work, creativity, and nail-biting competition, Lee-Ann and Johann can finally “breathe” — after being crowned the champions of Klein Paradys Season 1!

If timber were a car, Thermory would be the Rolls-Royce – luxurious, impeccably crafted, and built for those who accept nothing but the best. For architects, builders, and design visionaries looking to elevate their projects, Thermory isn’t just timber; it’s a statement. A statement of sophistication, durability, and world-class innovation.

After a year of hard work and dedication, the Somerset Timbers team is taking some well-earned time to celebrate!
