FAQs
Can these boards be used for raised beds?
Yes, their pressure-treated nature makes them suitable for use as edging for raised garden beds.
What is the exact thickness of the board?
The board has a thickness of 22mm.
Do I need to paint the boards before installing them?
No, they are pre-treated and ready for outdoor use, though you can apply a stain if you wish to change the color.
Are these boards suitable for ground contact?
Yes, they are pressure-treated to withstand contact with the ground, which is their primary purpose.
Can I use standard wood screws to install these?
Yes, but ensure you use high-quality, corrosion-resistant exterior screws to prevent rust marks.
How long will these boards last?
While durability depends on environmental conditions, pressure treatment significantly increases longevity compared to untreated timber.
Troubleshooting
The board shows signs of moisture at the cut ends.
Ensure that any fresh cuts are treated immediately with a suitable wood preservative to seal the end grain.
The board is warping or bowing.
Ensure the board is securely fixed to sturdy fence posts at both ends and supported along its length if the run is long.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires standard fence bracketry or direct screwing into timber posts using rust-resistant exterior-grade screws. When cutting these boards to size, it is vital to apply a high-quality timber preservative to the exposed end grain to ensure the internal wood remains protected. To maintain the board's condition, inspect annually for signs of wear and re-apply a wood stain or preservative as needed to keep the brown finish looking fresh and the moisture barrier intact.
