Treated Structural Timber – 47 mm × 175 mm (approx. 7″ × 2″), 3.6 m
This 47 × 175 mm treated softwood timber, graded C24 and supplied in a 3.6 m length, is kiln-dried, pressure-treated, and regularised with planed faces and eased edges for strength, stability, and long-term performance. The large 7″ × 2″ profile offers excellent rigidity and load-bearing capability, making it ideal for heavy-duty structural uses such as floor joists, roof rafters, beams, load-bearing stud walls, and general framing. The preservative treatment protects against rot, fungal decay, and insect attack, ensuring reliable performance in above-ground or covered outdoor applications. Its smooth, planed finish provides consistent sizing for easier cutting, handling, and installation.
