Won’t it burn? Won’t it decay? Will it be strong? Can it be double storey?
Because of wood being so light the pressure put on the base is also light. The base is always economical. Especially on decayed bases and fault line’s in earthquake areas prefer wood material.
Steel fixtures can collapse in 10 minutes, but wood fixtures will give you at least 1 hour before collapsing, providing enough time to exit. When impregnated, insect and decay is as well prevented.
Building the fixture can be done man made; weather conditions will not be a source of delay. High Heat, bitter cold, rain & snow can delay building with other materials.
Wood has its own chemistry and manages to adapt to any environment, it does not get effected either will it effect its surroundings. Our mosques that have been made 600-700 years ago are some of the proven facts.
