FAQs

Can I use this timber for outdoor decking?

No. This timber is untreated and not suitable for external use. It will decay rapidly if exposed to the elements without proper preservative treatment.

What does CLS stand for?

CLS stands for Canadian Lumber Standard, which refers to the specific sizing and planing quality of the timber.

Is this timber structural grade?

Yes, it carries a C16 strength rating, making it suitable for structural interior applications like stud walls.

Can I paint or stain this timber?

Yes, because it is planed to a smooth finish, it takes paint, varnish, and wood stains very well.

Are the dimensions exactly 3x2 inches?

The timber is processed to a metric finish of 38 x 63mm, which is the standard industry equivalent of 3x2 inches.

Troubleshooting

Timber bowing or warping

Ensure the timber is stored flat in a dry environment and fix it securely to a level frame to maintain shape.

Splitting during fastening

Pre-drill pilot holes when screwing near the ends of the joist to prevent the wood from cracking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Snowdon Timber, always store the joists in a dry, well-ventilated area, raised slightly off the ground to allow airflow and prevent moisture absorption. When working with the timber, use standard wood saws or power miter saws; the planed surface allows for precise marking with a pencil or square. Because this product is untreated, it is essential that it is kept away from damp surfaces. If your project involves areas prone to condensation, such as bathroom walls or kitchens, consider applying a suitable preservative or sealant before final installation. Use corrosion-resistant fasteners if you are operating in environments with fluctuating humidity levels.
