FAQs

Can I paint these boards immediately?

It is recommended to allow the timber to dry thoroughly after installation, which can take several weeks, before applying paint or stain.

Are these boards suitable for raised garden beds?

Yes, the pressure-treatment makes them suitable for ground contact applications like raised beds.

Do I need to pre-drill holes?

While not strictly required for all screws, pre-drilling near the ends of the boards is highly recommended to prevent the timber from splitting.

How do I calculate how many boards I need?

Divide your total area width by 0.125m (board width plus a 5mm gap) to determine the number of rows needed.

Is the green color permanent?

No, the pressure treatment color will gradually fade to a natural silver-grey when exposed to UV light.

Troubleshooting

Board warping or cupping after installation

Ensure at least two screws per joist are used and check that the boards were not installed too tightly; leave a 5mm expansion gap.

Surface feels slippery in damp weather

Clean the surface regularly to remove algae and consider applying a non-slip decking treatment or anti-slip tape.

Visible green crystals on the surface

This is a normal result of the pressure treatment process; it can be safely brushed off or cleaned with a damp cloth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Resistant to rot and wood-decaying organisms
  • Sturdy 28mm thickness provides a solid, durable surface
  • Standardized dimensions make planning and layout simple
  • High versatility for decking, fencing, and raised beds

Cons

  • Requires regular maintenance, such as staining or oiling
  • Natural wood may experience minor warping if not fastened correctly
  • Pressure treatment may leave a slight green tint that fades over time

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Snowdon Timber boards, use high-quality, corrosion-resistant stainless steel or deck-specific screws to prevent bleeding or rusting. When cutting boards, always treat the raw, exposed ends with a liquid wood preservative to maintain the protective seal. Regular care involves cleaning the surface annually with a stiff brush to remove moss and algae. While the boards are pressure-treated, applying a deck oil or wood stain every 12 to 24 months will significantly extend their lifespan and preserve the original timber aesthetic.
