Product Information
Full details
The B&Q Sawn Treated Timber Batten is an essential building material designed for DIYers and professional contractors working on outdoor structures like fencing and roofing. Its primary benefit is its pressure-treated durability, which effectively resists rot, decay, and insect damage, though users should note that the sawn finish has a rough texture that may require sanding if intended for aesthetic-focused applications.

FAQs
Can I use this timber for indoor projects?
While it can be used indoors, the treatment chemicals may have a distinct odor, and the rough finish is generally better suited for structural, hidden applications rather than exposed indoor decor.
Do I need to paint or seal the wood?
The pressure treatment provides significant protection, but applying an exterior wood stain or paint can further improve moisture resistance and aesthetics.
What tools are needed to cut this batten?
A standard hand saw, circular saw, or miter saw will cut this timber easily.
Is this wood suitable for ground contact?
While the treatment resists rot, it is best practice to keep timber slightly elevated or set in gravel/concrete to avoid standing water contact.
Can I glue this timber?
Yes, use a high-quality exterior-grade wood adhesive for best results, ensuring the surfaces are clean and dry.
Troubleshooting
Timber shows signs of warping during storage
Store flat on a level surface with supports at regular intervals to allow airflow.
Difficult to drive screws into the wood
Pre-drill pilot holes slightly smaller than the shank of your screw to prevent the timber from splitting.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent resistance to rot and insect attack
- Ideal length for extended structural runs
- Lightweight and easy to transport/install
- Highly versatile for both roofing and landscaping
Cons
- Rough sawn texture requires finishing for furniture or decorative use
- Standard dimensions may not fit all precision-fit projects without trimming
- Must be handled with gloves due to treatment chemicals
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For installation, ensure you use corrosion-resistant fixings, such as galvanized screws or nails, to prevent the metal from reacting with the chemical treatment in the wood. While the timber is treated for longevity, it is recommended to seal any cut ends with an appropriate end-grain preservative to maintain full protection. When storing before use, keep the battens flat in a dry, well-ventilated area to prevent warping or twisting caused by moisture absorption. Always wear safety goggles and a dust mask when cutting the timber to avoid inhaling sawdust.
