Our Treated Softwood Battens are a versatile and cost-effective solution for a wide range of construction and landscaping applications. Ideal for use in roofing, fencing, cladding support, and general framing, these battens are UC3 pressure treated to resist rot, fungal decay, and insect attack—making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
Each batten is precision sawn for consistent sizing and ease of installation. The treatment process ensures long-lasting performance, especially in environments exposed to moisture. Whether you’re building a garden structure, securing fence panels, or installing cladding, these battens provide reliable support.
Installation Tips:
- For outdoor use, ensure battens are not in direct ground contact unless UC4 treated.
- Use corrosion-resistant fixings for longevity.
- Store in a dry, well-ventilated area before installation.

Easy on-line order, phoned before delivery. Delivered as promised into my drive. That’s why they’re my normal go-to for gardening project timber.
Liam (verified owner) –
Had a load of timber delivered. Was worried I ran the risk of having some of the less desirable bits as I wasn’t there to choose but all timber was in great shape, posts and 2×2 were dead true. Really good quality and very happy with the service I received!

Great timber supplier – significantly cheaper that typical DIY chains. Helpful, friendly staff. Easy, drive through pickup. Only downside that some timber sizes are only available in long (4.8m) lengths – although they can provide a hand saw to cut the length down.
Luke (verified owner) –

Up there with the very best.
Easily accessible with good parking and yard is well sign posted for collections etc. Large showroom packed with great stuff, well displayed. Carrying a wide variety of timber and associated products, with a good website which gives prices etc (unlike some) which makes ordering a breeze. Very reasonable delivery rates, as cheap as 1p (£0.01) if you’re not in a hurry and meet the criteria.
The staff are brilliant, very friendly and helpful even to a DIYer like me who only visits occasionally. Easy recommendation.
