Treated Timber 2400mm
Treated timber suits projects designed to stay solid through everyday use and tough conditions. It is trusted by builders who prefer to get it right the first time.
It looks like ordinary carcassing timber at first glance, but it behaves differently on site. It feels more dependable. Strong enough for structure. Protected enough for exposure. That is why treated timber shows up everywhere from garden builds to serious framing work.
If you search for treated timber near me, treated timber is the one you will likely find first. Practical sizes. Reliable grades. Timber that works as hard as the build itself.
What is treated timber?
Treated timber is wood that has been built to last longer than untreated timber. It starts as standard softwood timber. Pressure treatment is applied to protect it from moisture, rot and insects.
The treatment is pushed deep into the wood. Not just applied on the surface. That is why treated wood timber copes better with damp conditions and outdoor use. It stays stable.
This type of timber is supplied in recognised strength grades. C16 timber is used for everyday structural work. C24 timber is chosen when extra strength is needed. Both are available as pressure treated timber for longer service life.
What is treated wood used for?
Treated timber is commonly supplied in a full range of standard construction sizes to suit different structural and outdoor uses. It is available in 2×2, 3×2, 4×2, 5×2, 6×2, 7×2, 8×2 and 9×2 sections, with a consistent 47mm width and thicknesses of 50mm, 75mm, 100mm, 125mm, 150mm, 175mm, 200mm and 225mm. Standard lengths of 2400mm, 3000mm and 3600mm.
Treated timber is used anywhere the structure needs to stay solid in damp conditions and changing weather. It is a practical choice for both garden builds and structural work, where untreated wood would not last.
Garden and exterior builds
Most exterior timber projects rely on pressure treated timber for the parts that carry weight or stay close to the ground. Decking frames, pergola posts and fencing all depend on treated wood timber to resist moisture over time.
Fence posts, rails and supports are typically made from treated carcassing timber. Fencing styles vary, but the structure stays familiar. The panels change. The timber behind them usually does not.
Most raised decking frames use C16 timber. For heavier builds or wider spans, C24 treated timber is the stronger option. Both are suitable for outdoor use once treated.
Structural and framing work
Carcassing timber is widely used for frames, joists and internal structure where durability matters. C16 grade timber suits most standard structural tasks. C24 grade timber is used where extra strength and stiffness are required.
Everyday practical use
Garden sheds, greenhouse bases, and outdoor storage structures often rely on treated wood timber at ground level. Sleepers, edging and raised beds also use treated timber to cope with constant contact with damp soil.
If you are searching for treated timber near me, this is the type of material builders expect. Practical sizes. Recognised strength grades. Timber that performs reliably in real conditions.
