Product Information

Full details

The Snowdon Timber Rough Sawn Treated Timber boards are ideal for DIY enthusiasts and contractors seeking a reliable, versatile solution for outdoor construction projects like fencing, cladding, and garden edging. These lightweight softwood boards are pressure-treated to resist rot and decay, providing long-lasting stability in varied weather conditions. While these boards offer excellent durability for general landscape applications, users should be aware that they are intended for structural outdoor use and may require additional sanding if a smooth, furniture-grade finish is desired.

FAQs

Can I use these boards for raised vegetable beds?

While pressure treated, you should consult the specific treatment standards to ensure they are safe for direct contact with edible plants, or consider using a non-toxic liner.

Are these boards suitable for indoor furniture?

No, these are rough sawn and pressure treated for outdoor use; they are not intended for indoor furniture projects.

How should I cut these boards?

You can use standard hand saws or power mitre saws. Always wear appropriate eye protection and a dust mask when cutting treated timber.

Do I need to paint them immediately?

No, the pressure treatment provides sufficient protection, but you can paint or stain them once the wood has fully dried if you prefer a different aesthetic.

Can these be used as deck boards?

They are suitable for the framing of a deck, but they may be too thin for the primary decking surface itself, which typically requires thicker, load-rated boards.

Troubleshooting

Timber appears slightly green or stained

This is a normal result of the pressure treatment process and will typically fade to a natural honey-brown color over time with sun exposure.

Timber is warping after installation

Ensure that the timber was properly secured with appropriate spacing and that you are not using the boards for structural spans exceeding their capacity.

Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Snowdon Timber boards, follow these guidelines:

  1. Cutting: Always treat fresh-cut ends with a high-quality wood preservative to maintain the integrity of the pressure treatment.
  2. Fastening: Use exterior-grade, rust-resistant screws or nails to prevent premature corrosion of the hardware when interacting with the treated timber.
  3. Storage: Keep boards stored in a dry, well-ventilated area elevated off the ground until ready for installation to prevent moisture buildup.
  4. Maintenance: While pressure treated, applying an exterior wood stain or oil annually can help retain color and provide an additional moisture barrier.
