More than 3 decades ago the Upton family commenced trading in Hobart, supplying building materials to builders, handymen and the home renovator. Since then we've developed into a leading supplier of building materials, timber, plywood and the SHIELD range of double glazed windows and doors. Uptons carries a large range of plywood, and our staff have the knowledge to help you get the right product for the job.

We have the plywood products you need for your commercial project or home extension. We stock a massive range of Pine Framing sourced both locally and internationally. The local produce is Radiata Pine which is produced both in Tasmania and on Mainland Australia. Uptons have pine framing timbers ready to go.

At Uptons we have a massive variety of timber flooring products, and our staff have the knowledge to help you get the right product for the job. From Tas Oak to Spotted Gum flooring we have all the options to make sure you get the hardwood floor to suit. Bring your outdoor area to life with a durable, stylish hardwood deck.
Services
Uptons provide the best service & prices across a massive range of construction products, but don't take our word for it, read some of the genuine testimonials from our customers. Great advice and good prices. They have new and recycled building materials. If you tell them what your making they'll go the extra mile to make sure you get what you need for as cheap as possible.
For over 30 years Uptons has been selling timber to tradesmen, builders and DIY-ers alike. Uptons can supply all your timber products, from decking to flooring to construction and outdoor timber products. Whatever timber product you need, we have the stock and expertise to assist you, whether you are professional contractor or working on a simple DIY job.
Silvertop ash is a moderately durable and relatively light hardwood compared to other eucalyptus like spotted gum and ironbark. The timber has a medium texture with a straight grain, also showing noticeable growth rings. The timber also often comes with natural features including gum veins and ambrosia, giving the timber a unique look.
Treated Pine decking is a versatile and cost effective product for your next decking project. Pine decking is farmed and made in Australia and can easily be painted or stained to further enhance the look of the timber. The treatment in the timber will help fight off Termites and Rot extending the life of your deck.
ModWood is an Australian made and owned composite product made from a mixture of ground sustainable wood waste and plastic (they use recycled plastic milk bottles!) ModWood's composite decking comes in a range of sizes, colours and finishes, giving you the ability to create residential or commercial projects that combine function and style.

I buy all the wood I use making easels for my business, Easels Galore, from Uptons. Prices are good and like all wood nowadays quality can vary a bit due to government crackdowns on the harvesting of native timbers. I say this because it frustrates everyone in the timber industry and is not a reflection on Uptons.
Service is helpful and friendly and parking is very good. They often have woods that you may not find at other timber yards. In all honesty, since I have moved to the area in late 2018, I have not bothered to try anywhere else, as, in the past, I have used many timber suppliers, in Melbourne

Great place to buy 'not normally' stocked timber. Fantastic face to face conversation with wisdom and encouragement shared.

Great service, pity they can't cut sheets of ply down to fit in car. Couldn't be more helpful than they were. Definitely go back again.

It's great to have an alternative to the Big Green Shed! Friendly personalised service, prices competitive on majority of items, ability to buy fasteners (like larger landscaping screws) per each instead of prepacked, focus on quality items and materials, delivery is no problem, and for me it's close and convenient to pop in when I need stuff rather than saving up for a big shop. Also the only place I know that stocks quality termite resistant Australian Cypress (as an alternative to hardwood or toxic treated pine) for landscaping etc.

DEFINITELY a great local business. The manager is great and is very knowledgeable about the products they stock. No where else on the border will you get this level of service!
