Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this timber suitable for ground contact?

Yes, it is pressure treated for exterior use; however, using a damp-proof membrane is recommended when the joist is in direct contact with concrete or soil.

What does C16 grading mean?

C16 is a structural grade indicating the timber has been tested for specific strength and stiffness properties suitable for construction frames.

Can I paint this timber?

Yes, once the timber has dried out thoroughly after installation, you can apply exterior-grade wood paint or stain.

Does the length vary?

These units come in a standard 2.4m length. Please ensure you calculate your waste factor when ordering for your project.

How do I secure these joists together?

Use heavy-duty exterior wood screws or timber connectors such as joist hangers for a more secure and professional framework.

Troubleshooting

The timber has slight warping or bowing upon delivery

This is common with natural wood products. Use the joists in shorter sections for smaller supports or use a clamp during installation to pull the piece into alignment.

Wood is splitting during screw installation

Ensure you are using a pilot drill bit slightly smaller than the shank of the screw, especially when working near the ends of the joist.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent structural reliability with C16 grading
Pressure treated for enhanced durability against moisture
Planed finish allows for a cleaner aesthetic and easier handling
Standardized 2.4m length is convenient for most garden projects

Cons

Not suitable for heavy-duty structural flooring without additional reinforcement
Timber is a natural product and may still exhibit slight warping or bowing
Cut ends must be retreated to maintain warranty and rot resistance

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Installation Tips

Always use corrosion-resistant fixings, such as stainless steel or high-quality galvanized screws, to prevent chemical reactions with the timber treatment.
When cutting the timber to size, apply an end-grain preservative to any exposed cuts to seal the wood against moisture ingress.
Store the joists in a dry, well-ventilated area on level ground to prevent moisture buildup or warping before installation.

Care

Regular maintenance involves checking for signs of weathering. While the factory treatment is robust, applying a high-quality exterior wood stain or oil every 2-3 years will help maintain the appearance and provide an extra layer of protection against the elements.
