FAQs

What is the lifespan of the treated timber?

The lifespan depends on environmental factors and usage, but the treatment helps extend its durability, typically for several years.

Can I paint or stain this timber?

Yes, the rough sawn surface is ideal for paint and stain adhesion. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying any finish.

Is this timber suitable for ground contact?

While treated, it's generally best to avoid prolonged direct contact with the ground. Use it for applications slightly raised off the ground.

What type of fasteners should I use?

Use exterior-grade screws or nails, which are designed to resist rust and corrosion in outdoor environments.

How do I store the timber?

Store the timber in a dry, covered area, preferably flat, to prevent warping.

Can I use this timber for a deck?

No, this timber is not recommended for decking due to its dimensions and load-bearing limitations. It is suitable for non-structural applications.

Troubleshooting

Timber is splitting when screwing or nailing.

Pre-drill pilot holes before inserting screws or nails. Use screws specifically designed for the application and timber type.

Timber warps or twists after installation.

Ensure the timber is properly supported and secured. Use appropriate bracing if necessary. Store timber flat before use.

Difficulty in cutting with a saw.

Use a sharp saw blade suitable for the timber type. Apply consistent pressure while cutting.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Before starting, ensure you have the necessary tools: measuring tape, saw (hand saw or circular saw), drill, screws/nails, safety glasses, and gloves.
