General Purpose 2x1 Treated Timber
Often referred to by the traditional trade size of 2x1 timber, this 25x50mm treated batten is a useful small-section timber for everyday building, garden and landscaping work.
Its compact profile makes it suitable for jobs where larger structural timber is unnecessary, including general battening, fencing details, timber edging, garden projects, cladding support and a variety of repair or DIY applications.
Green Pressure Treated Timber
The timber has been pressure treated to help improve its durability and resistance to fungal decay and insect attack. This makes it a practical option for suitable above-ground external applications as well as general building work.
The green appearance is associated with the timber treatment process and may vary between individual lengths and treatment batches.
Where the timber is cut during installation, a suitable cut-end treatment should be applied where required to help maintain protection at the exposed end grain.
Suitable for Fencing & Garden Projects
The 25x50mm section is particularly useful for a variety of fencing, garden and landscaping jobs where a smaller treated timber batten is required.
Typical uses may include fencing repairs, support battens, garden structures, timber edging, landscaping details and other general outdoor timber projects.
The 4.8m length also provides flexibility for cutting into shorter sections to suit individual projects.
General Building & DIY Uses
This sawn treated timber batten can also be used for a range of suitable general building and DIY applications where a 25x50mm timber section is required.
Typical applications may include:
- General timber battening
- Fencing and fence repairs
- Garden projects
- Landscaping work
- Timber edging
- Counter-battening
- Suitable light framing applications
- Cladding support
- Fixing grounds and support battens
- Repairs and general DIY projects
Always ensure the timber size, treatment and grade are suitable for the intended application before installation.
Counter-Battening & Cladding Support
The 25x50mm section can be useful for suitable counter-battening and cladding support applications where general-purpose treated timber is appropriate.
For any regulated, structural or specification-critical work, always check the project requirements and use timber with the correct verified grade and treatment specification.
Is This a Roofing Batten?
No. Although this timber has similar nominal dimensions to many roofing battens and may sometimes be referred to informally as a batten or lath, this particular product is not graded to BS 5534.
It should therefore not be used as the roofing batten for fixing roof tiles, slates or shingles where a BS 5534 graded roofing batten is required.
Rose Building Supplies stocks separate BS 5534 graded roofing battens for customers requiring correctly graded battens for tiled or slated pitched roof construction.
Sawn Timber Appearance & Natural Variation
As a rough sawn timber product, the surface is intended for practical building and landscaping applications rather than a smooth decorative finish.
Timber is a natural material, so individual lengths can vary slightly in colour, grain, knots, appearance and dimensions. Select and cut each length according to the requirements of the project.
Why Choose 25x50mm 2x1" Sawn Treated Green Timber?
This 25x50mm treated green timber batten provides a practical and economical option for general building, fencing, garden, landscaping and DIY projects. Its useful 2x1" nominal section, 4.8m length, rough sawn finish and pressure treatment make it a versatile timber product for many everyday applications where a specialist structural or BS 5534 roofing grade is not required.
