This Green Treated Sawn Carcassing Timber is designed for DIYers and professional landscapers who need reliable, rot-resistant structural support for outdoor projects. Measuring 3600mm in length, these boards are specifically suited for use as gravel boards to protect fence panels from ground moisture, though users should be aware that the green treatment may fade over time and require a sealant or wood stain to maintain aesthetic consistency.

It is intended for outdoor use. The pressure treatment may have a strong odor and appearance that is generally not suited for interior living spaces.
No, this pack contains only the 10 timber boards. You will need to purchase appropriate exterior-grade screws separately.
These can be cut using standard wood-cutting tools, such as a hand saw, circular saw, or mitre saw.
The green tint comes from the preservative treatment and will naturally fade to a honey brown or silver-gray when exposed to sunlight over time.
While it is versatile for general landscaping, it is primarily designed as a gravel board to prevent fence panels from rotting at the base.
Timber is a natural product and may react to humidity. Store flat in a dry area and secure firmly during installation to straighten out minor bows.
Immediately seal any cut ends with an exterior wood preservative to restore the protective barrier.
This is a normal result of UV exposure. Apply an exterior wood stain or oil to restore color and provide a uniform finish.
To ensure the longevity of your timber, always use corrosion-resistant fixings, such as stainless steel or galvanised screws, to avoid the metal reacting with the wood treatment. When cutting the boards to size, ensure all exposed cut ends are coated with a high-quality end-grain preservative.
For ongoing maintenance, periodic application of a wood stain or UV-protective oil will keep the timber from silvering or graying, while also providing an extra layer of defense against the elements. Always store the packs in a dry, ventilated area off the ground before installation to prevent warping.
