Timber

1. What are common timber sizes?

Timber is typically available in standard lengths of 2.4m, 3.0m, 3.6m, and 4.8m. Common thicknesses include 18mm, 25mm, 38mm, 50mm, and 75mm, with widths often ranging from 50mm to 200mm depending on the type of timber and its intended use.

2. Are timber products treated?

Yes. We ensure most of our timber is pressure-treated for added durability and resistance to rot, decay, and insect damage. Specific details are listed on each product page.

3. What are timber sleepers used for?

Timber sleepers are versatile and can be used in a wide range of garden, landscaping, and outdoor projects. They’re commonly used to build retaining walls, raised beds, and terraces, as well as for edging paths, flower beds, and lawns.

Sleepers also work well for creating steps on slopes, supporting decking, or even as part of fencing designs. For decorative and practical use, they can be made into planters, outdoor furniture like benches or tables, or laid flat to form pathways and borders.

4. What is composite wood?

Composite wood is a manufactured material made by combining wood fibers or wood flour with plastic and sometimes other additives to create a durable, low-maintenance product.

It’s designed to mimic the appearance of natural wood while improving strength and longevity.

Composite wood is durable and low-maintenance, making it ideal for outdoor projects. Common uses include decking, garden benches, planters, fencing panels, pergolas, and cladding. It’s a great alternative to traditional timber where weather resistance and minimal upkeep are important.
