# Why does my WoodBlocX structure not look like the pictures shown on the website?

Many of the photos shown across our website have been taken several months after building WoodBlocX - this is when our structures are looking their best and the greenish discoloration has faded to reveal the natural golden-pine colour.


Due to our wood treatment process, your WoodBlocX may arrive with a greenish discoloration - this is completely normal and will fade once the blocks are exposed to UV rays from sunlight.

Across our website we show a varied mix of real-life project pictures to AI-enhanced photography to support our marketing. As timber is a natural product, there’s always unique character and natural imperfections in the WoodBlocX manufacturing process. 

The photos below show the process of building a WoodBlocX raised bed from start to photoshoot!
