The Snowdon Timber 18mm x 90mm x 2400mm Treated Fence Board is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and builders looking for cost-effective material for garden fencing, decking frameworks, or wall framing. These boards offer the essential benefit of pressure-treated resistance against rot and moisture, ensuring they hold up well in outdoor environments. Users should be aware that these are designated as reject stock, meaning each board may feature natural aesthetic or structural imperfections such as splits, cracks, knots, or discolouration, making them best suited for projects where a pristine appearance is not the primary requirement.

No, because these are pressure-treated with chemicals, they should not be used for vegetable beds or areas where they will come into direct contact with food.
These boards are classified as rejects because they failed to meet the highest aesthetic standards during quality control, potentially featuring knots, cracks, or minor colour variations.
Yes, once the timber has thoroughly dried, you can use exterior-grade paint or wood stains to finish the boards to your preference.
A standard circular saw, mitre saw, or hand saw is sufficient for cutting these boards to length.
While the treatment protects against rot and decay, the lifespan depends heavily on environmental conditions and maintenance. Regular sealing with wood preservative can significantly extend the life.
This is common with fresh pressure-treated timber. Allow the boards to air dry in a well-ventilated, flat area before installation.
Pre-drill pilot holes through any knots to prevent the wood from splitting further and to ensure a secure fastening.
This is a natural characteristic of wood; use extra bracing or screws during installation to pull the board into alignment.
When working with pressure-treated timber, always wear gloves and protective eyewear, as the treatment chemicals can cause skin irritation. When cutting to size, ensure you are using a sharp saw blade to minimize splintering along the eased edges. Since the timber has been treated for outdoor use, ensure that any cut ends are sealed with an appropriate end-grain preservative to maintain the integrity of the treatment. For installation, use galvanized or stainless steel screws and nails to prevent corrosion from the treatment chemicals. To extend the life of the timber, consider applying a high-quality exterior wood stain or oil once the boards have fully dried from their initial treatment.
