8x2 Treated Timber

This is the structural choice when you need more depth, more support, and less worry down the line. For heavier outdoor spans, solid support work, and structural jobs that cannot afford movement, 8×2 C24 treated timber is made to carry the load and stay dependable through real UK conditions.

What is 8×2 C24 treated timber?

8×2 C24 treated timber is a structurally graded carcassing timber designed for builds where strength matters more than appearance. It is pressure treated to help protect against rot, damp, and the everyday exposure that comes with outdoor construction.

8×2 C24 treated timber comes in a 47mm x 200mm section, supplied in multiple different lengths, with an actual size of 45mm x 195mm. These are standard naming differences, but they refer to the same recognised 8×2 structural size. This timber is moisture resistant and graded for structural strength (c24).

What is 8×2 treated timber used for?

Treated timber 8×2 is widely used for larger decking support beams, main joists in garden room floors, and structural framing for annexes, studios, and timber buildings. You will also see 47×200 treated timber in heavy-duty roofing, outbuilding supports, and pergola beams designed for wider spans.

Because of its strength, it works brilliantly for outdoor kitchen bases, BBQ shelters, hot tub surround frames, and raised seating platforms that need proper load support. It is equally useful for garden steps on uneven ground, carport and canopy beams, bike and tool storage structures, and outdoor bar counters where the frame has to feel solid from day one.

For bigger landscaping builds, 8×2 C24 treated timber is used in retaining frames, composite decking subframes, deep raised planters, timber walkways, and bridging sections across gardens. In short, this is the section that gives a build permanence.
