Common Questions:
Q: What does “tanalised” mean?
A: Tanalised timber has been pressure-treated with preservative chemicals that penetrate deep into the wood fibres. This significantly extends the lifespan of the timber, especially in wet or exposed environments.

Q: Are these battens suitable for outdoor use?
A: Yes, they are specifically designed for external use and can withstand rain, moisture, and ground contact when installed correctly.

Q: Do I need to treat the timber again before using it?
A: No. However, it’s good practice to apply end-grain preservative to any cut edges or drilled areas to maintain full protection.
