25x38mm Sawn Treated Green Timber Batten PEFC 4.8m
This 25x38mm Sawn Treated Green Timber Batten is a versatile 4.8m timber length suitable for a wide range of general building, extension, counter-battening, cladding, fencing, garden and landscaping applications. Its compact section makes it useful wherever a smaller rough sawn treated timber batten is required.
The timber is green pressure treated to help improve durability and resistance to decay and insect attack, making it a practical choice for suitable above-ground external and general construction applications.
The 25x38mm size is also commonly associated with tiled roofing, particularly plain tile installations. However, the timber used as the actual tile-supporting and fixing batten must meet the grading requirements of the relevant roofing specification. Where BS 5534 roofing battens are required, use a clearly graded and marked roofing batten.

General Purpose 25x38mm Treated Timber
The 25x38mm section is a useful smaller-format timber batten for builders, landscapers and DIY users. It can be used for a variety of suitable general construction applications where larger structural timber is unnecessary.
Typical uses include counter-battening, cladding support, light framing, fencing details, garden structures, sheds, timber edging and general repairs.
Green Pressure Treated Timber
The timber is pressure treated to help provide protection against fungal decay and insect attack. This makes it suitable for a range of appropriate above-ground external applications as well as general building work.
The green appearance is associated with the treatment process and may vary slightly between individual timber lengths and treatment batches.
Where the timber is cut during installation, apply a suitable cut-end treatment where required to help protect newly exposed timber.
General Building & Extension Work
25x38mm treated timber battens are widely useful during general construction and extension projects for secondary timber work where this size and specification are appropriate.
Applications can include counter-battening, cladding support, suitable light framing, fixing grounds and other general timber work. Always check the project specification where the batten forms part of a regulated, structural or weather-critical construction detail.
Counter-Battening & Cladding Support
The compact 25x38mm profile makes this timber particularly useful for suitable counter-battening and cladding support applications.
Counter-battens can be used to create a ventilation or drainage space behind suitable roof or wall systems, while timber battens are also commonly used as supporting grounds for external and internal cladding systems.
Always follow the cladding, membrane or roofing system manufacturer's specification when determining the required timber size, treatment and fixing arrangement.
Suitable for Fencing & Garden Projects
This treated timber batten is also useful for a wide range of fencing, shed, garden and landscaping projects.
Typical outdoor uses may include:
- Fencing repairs and support battens
- Sheds and garden structures
- Garden timber projects
- Timber edging
- Landscaping details
- General outdoor repairs
- Suitable light timber framing
The 4.8m length provides flexibility for cutting the timber into shorter sections to suit individual projects.
25x38mm Battens & Plain Tile Roofing
25x38mm is a commonly specified timber batten size within tiled roof construction, including many double-lap clay and concrete plain tile installations.
However, batten dimensions are only one part of the roofing specification. Timber used as the actual batten supporting and fixing roof tiles must also meet the appropriate grading requirements.
If the project requires a BS 5534 graded roofing batten, use a product that is clearly graded and individually marked for that purpose rather than relying on timber size or colour alone.
Can This Timber Be Used as a Counter-Batten?
Yes, 25x38mm treated timber is commonly useful for suitable counter-battening applications where this dimension meets the construction or system specification.
Counter-battens are different from the horizontal battens that directly support and fix roofing tiles, so the grading requirements can differ depending on how the timber is being used.
Sawn Timber Appearance & Natural Variation
As a rough sawn timber product, this batten is intended for practical building and landscaping applications rather than a smooth decorative finish.
Timber is a natural material, so individual lengths may vary slightly in colour, grain, knots and appearance. Select and cut each length according to the requirements of the project.
Important Roofing Specification
Do not assume that timber is a compliant roofing batten purely because it measures 25x38mm or is pressure treated. Where the batten will directly support or provide the fixing for roof tiles, check the roofing specification and use a correctly graded and marked BS 5534 roofing batten where required.
Why Choose 25x38mm Sawn Treated Green Timber Batten?
This 25x38mm treated green timber batten provides a practical and versatile timber option for general building, extensions, counter-battening, cladding support, fencing, garden and landscaping work. Its useful 4.8m length, compact profile, rough sawn finish and pressure treatment make it suitable for many everyday building and outdoor timber applications.
