This Snowdon Timber 3x2 inch pressure-treated timber is the ideal solution for both professional contractors and DIY enthusiasts needing reliable structural support for outdoor projects like decking, garden frames, and fencing. Crafted from C16 graded softwood, this timber offers excellent durability and moisture resistance, ensuring your builds withstand the elements; however, because it is pressure-treated, it is not suitable for use in direct contact with drinking water or internal furniture construction.

Yes, the pressure treatment allows for use in outdoor and ground-contact applications, provided it is installed correctly.
Yes, once the timber is fully dry, it can be painted or stained with exterior-grade wood finishes.
C16 is a visual and mechanical grading standard for softwood that ensures the timber meets specific strength and stiffness requirements for construction.
This specific pack contains two lengths of timber measuring 45mm x 70mm x 3600mm.
Yes, it is highly recommended to coat any cut ends with an end-grain preservative to maintain moisture resistance.
While the pressure treatment is standard for outdoor use, you may prefer to line the inside of raised beds with a protective membrane if growing organic produce.
This is a normal result of the pressure treatment process; allow the timber to air dry in a ventilated space before use.
Pre-drill pilot holes to prevent splitting the softwood and ensure a cleaner finish.
As a natural material, slight movement is expected; use mechanical fixings and structural bracing to pull the timber into alignment during installation.
To ensure the longevity of your build, always store the timber in a dry, well-ventilated area until installation. When cutting the wood to length, it is essential to apply a high-quality timber preservative to the exposed cut ends, as these areas are no longer protected by the factory pressure treatment. Use galvanised or stainless steel screws and nails to prevent corrosion, as the treatment chemicals can react with standard steel fasteners over time. Always verify local building codes if using these joists for elevated decking structures.
