Barkston is ideal for use in marine or wet environments as the material is inert in all forms of water; it is suitable for installations below ground, under water or in earth where it will out perform wood and last many years longer. Barkston will compete with hardwood, pre-cast concrete and steel in this environment – and provide the numerous benefits of a plastic composite at very cost effective prices.

These qualities make Barkston the ultimate solution for revetments to prevent incoming water or erosion, retaining walls to hold back land and prevent movement or erosion, and fenders to withstand the impact of boats and prevent damage to the river banks or coastline.
