wooden construction

Built from trees

Wooden construction refers to building methods and structures that use wood as the primary material.

The phrase covers everything from traditional timber framing to modern stick-built houses: The cabin was entirely wooden construction.

It may also describe the quality of being made from wood: The wooden construction of the deck made it susceptible to rot.
