FAQs

What tools do I need to work with this timber?

You will need a saw for cutting, a measuring tape, a pencil, a drill (or screwdriver), screws or nails, and optionally, sandpaper and finishing products (paint, stain, sealant).

Is the timber suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the timber is treated, making it suitable for some outdoor applications. However, ensure that the cut ends are also treated or sealed to prevent moisture absorption.

How do I attach the timber?

Use screws or nails. For best results, pre-drill pilot holes before inserting screws. Choose the appropriate length of screws or nails for your project.

Can I paint this timber?

Yes, you can paint the timber. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before painting. Use a primer before applying the paint for better adhesion.

How should I store the leftover timber?

Store the timber in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, to prevent warping or damage. Covering the timber will provide an additional layer of protection.

What does 'kiln dried' mean?

Kiln-dried means that the timber has been dried in a kiln, which reduces its moisture content. This process makes the timber more stable and less prone to warping, shrinking, or cracking.

Is sanding necessary?

Sanding may be necessary depending on the application. The rough sawn finish can be left as is for some uses, or sanded for a smoother finish, especially if you are painting or staining the timber.

Troubleshooting

Timber is splitting when screws or nails are used.

Pre-drill pilot holes before inserting screws or nails to prevent splitting.

Timber does not fit correctly.

Double-check measurements and ensure cuts are accurate. Sand down the edges if necessary for a better fit.
