The Power of Pine
Why Bedmax uses pine to make shavings…
Bedmax is the only UK manufacturer of horse and animal bedding to use pine wood.
While the majority of wood-based equine beddings are made of spruce, Bedmax founder and MD Tim Smalley has always preferred to make his shavings from Scots pine.
Over the past 20 years, science has proved that pine doesn’t just smell better, it offers hygienic advantages that other softwoods like spruce don’t, giving horse owners who use Bedmax and Littlemax shavings a unique, naturally antibacterial advantage.
Bedding Made Specially for Horses.
We offer horse owners in the UK a range of high quality, completely natural beddings purpose made at our three dedicated factories to provide a healthy, hygienic bedding for your horses and ponies.
Our equine bedding range now includes our original low dust, large flake pine Bedmax shavings, Littlemax small flake pine shavings, and our new Strawmax straw pellet bedding for horses, and you can find full details on this site about how we make them, why we make and how to get the best out of them.
You can also find details of Stockmax 100% pine shavings for sheep and lambs, poultry and other livestock, the sustainable Hotmax fuel logs we make from the dust we extract from our shavings, and our new Catmax straw pellet cat litter.
