Treated Sawn Timber – 47 mm × 50 mm (2″ x 2″), 3 m
This 47 × 50 mm (nominal 2″ × 2″) treated softwood timber, at 3 m length, is pressure-treated and kiln-dried to offer longevity and enhanced resistance to rot, fungal attack, and insect damage. The timber is regularised — planed smooth with eased edges — giving consistent dimensions and making it easier to handle, cut, and fix. Its compact size and treated nature make it particularly suited for both indoor and outdoor light-duty applications where durability and moisture resistance are beneficial. The timber is versatile and suitable for a variety of uses including light framing, garden projects, fencing supports, or small structural tasks.
