Structural timber covers timber products that carry load, support buildings, or form part of a structural system. These materials are used where performance matters more than appearance, and where the correct grade, section size, and treatment directly affect long-term reliability. This category brings together all timber intended for structural and support use, from carcassing to roofing components.
Structural timber is used wherever timber forms part of a building’s load path or support framework. Typical applications include:
The exact product required depends on span, load, exposure, and whether the work is subject to inspection.
Structural timber is not a single product. It is a group of timber products, each designed for a specific structural role.
C16 and C24 structural timber are used for framing and load-bearing construction. The grade determines strength and stiffness, with higher grades specified where loads are greater or spans are longer.
Choosing the correct grade is essential for structural performance and compliance.
Roof battens are used to fix roof tiles and coverings, forming part of a roofing system rather than the main frame. Where tiled roofing is involved, grading and correct spacing matter, particularly on inspected work.
Purlins are structural members used to support roof sheets and coverings across wider spans, most commonly on sheds and agricultural buildings. They play a key role in load transfer and roof stability.
Smaller section treated timber is often used for secondary supports, bracing, and detailing, particularly where moisture exposure is expected. These products still perform a structural role but are selected based on application rather than primary load-bearing capacity.
Using the wrong timber in a structural role can lead to:
Structural timber should always be chosen based on what it is supporting, not simply size or price.
We stock structural timber for practical construction use, not general-purpose timber sold into the wrong application.

What makes timber “structural”?
Structural timber is timber used to carry load or support part of a building, where strength, grade, and sizing directly affect performance.
Do all structural timber products need to be graded?
Primary load-bearing timber must be graded. Some structural components, such as battens or secondary supports, have different specification requirements depending on their role.
Can structural timber be used externally?
Yes, provided the correct treatment level is selected for the environment and exposure conditions.
Is C16 or C24 structural timber better?
Neither is “better” in all cases. C24 is used where higher strength or longer spans are required, while C16 is suitable for many general structural applications.
