Abstract
A probing study was conducted to observe the performance of heat treated Laminated Oil Palm Veneer Lumber Thermo LOPVL boards against bio deterioration and weathering in outdoor and hard landscaping uses. The material was created by heat-treating LOPVL boards using a recipe that has successfully been applied on Rubberwood. Thermo LOPVL was tested as pickets for fencing one of the elements in hard landscaping. This poster reveals the condition of the pickets after 4 years of service with and without surface painting. It is envisaged that these observational results would stir-up interests among researchers to initiate more studies on heat-treated LOPVL for wider hard landscaping uses such as garden edgings screening walls and even sound barriers.
