Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this timber be used for ground contact?

While pressure-treated, it is highly recommended to use a physical barrier or additional bitumen-based coating if the timber is intended for direct burial in the ground.

Can I paint these boards immediately?

It is best to allow the timber to dry out for a few weeks after purchase to ensure the treatment moisture has evaporated before applying paint or stain.

What tools are needed to cut these boards?

A standard hand saw, circular saw, or mitre saw is sufficient for cutting this timber to size.

How many boards come in a pack?

This specific product comes in a pack of 8 boards.

Are these boards safe for vegetable gardens?

The pressure treatment is designed for outdoor safety, but for organic gardening, consider lining the timber with plastic membranes to prevent direct contact between soil and wood.

Troubleshooting

Timber showing signs of surface green spots

These are common surface deposits from the pressure treatment process and will weather away naturally over time.

Boards warping or twisting after installation

Ensure the timber is properly secured with enough fixings and allowed to acclimate to local humidity levels if possible before final installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Snowdon Timber boards, follow these installation and care tips:

Handling: Use gloves when handling treated timber to avoid splinters or skin irritation from the treatment chemicals.
Fastenings: Use exterior-grade, corrosion-resistant screws or nails to prevent premature rust stains on the timber surface.
Sealing: While pressure-treated, applying a high-quality wood preservative, stain, or exterior paint after installation will significantly enhance the board's appearance and weather resistance.
Cutting: Always seal freshly cut ends with an end-grain preservative to prevent moisture from entering the untreated inner fibers.
