Composite timber is a material that is a mixture of wood fiber, plastic, and some type of binding agent. These ingredients are put together to form a material that is denser, stronger, and heavier than wood alone, a wood-plastic composite. Working with composite timber is similar to working with wood.

Composite timber is a material that is a mixture of wood fiber, plastic, and some type of binding agent. These ingredients are put together to form a material that is denser, stronger, and heavier than wood alone, a wood-plastic composite. Working with composite timber is similar to working with wood. However, composite timber has the added benefit of being less likely to split or delaminate. Some composite timber is also engineered to be lighter weight for easier handling. Composite timber is also more stain, scratch, and mold resistant, and is therefore supposed to have a longer life than wood timber. Less
