The Snowdon Timber 6x2 treated beams are designed for homeowners, DIY enthusiasts, and contractors who need reliable structural support for outdoor landscaping, decking, and fencing projects. These beams offer excellent durability through pressure treatment, which guards against rot and moisture, providing a solid foundation for weight-bearing tasks. However, users should note that as natural softwood, these boards require regular maintenance and sealing over time to preserve their structural integrity and appearance against extreme weather conditions.

While they are safe for outdoor use, the pressure treatment chemicals may have a distinct odor, so they are generally recommended for exterior applications only.
The timber is already pressure-treated against rot. However, applying a water-repellent stain will help preserve the appearance and prevent splitting.
C16 is a structural grading standard for softwood that ensures the timber meets specific strength and stiffness requirements for construction projects.
Yes, the pressure treatment is rated for external use, though placing them on a gravel base or concrete pads is recommended to keep them out of standing water.
These beams are planed on all sides for a smooth, consistent finish that is much safer to handle than rough-sawn lumber.
Small checks are common in softwood as it dries. Apply an exterior wood filler if the structural integrity is compromised or paint/stain to seal the gap.
This is a normal result of the pressure treatment process. The color will fade to a natural grey over time, or you can paint over it with an opaque wood stain.
Natural timber reacts to humidity. Store boards flat on level ground, supported by spacers to allow airflow until ready for immediate installation.
Installation requires standard carpentry tools, including a circular saw or handsaw, a level, and appropriate weather-treated exterior screws or joist hangers.
