Timber Battens

Timber battens are machined strips of wood that are widely used in construction projects.

We offer a variety of treated timber battens in several sizes for different applications, with various lengths from 3.6 to 4.8 meters. These batten timber products are pressure-treated to increase durability and enhance protection from rain. They are often used in agricultural buildings, sheds, field shelters, etc.

Treated timber battens can look very similar, but the products can differ significantly, and it is important to select the correct batten. If there are plans, or a schedule of work, then please check if there is a specification mentioned.
