What's The Difference Between Treated Timber And Non-Treated Timber?

Simply put, untreated timber is as it sounds; it is not treated with preservatives or chemicals. This makes it a more "natural" solution. Treated timber, on the other hand, has undergone a timber treatment enforced with chemicals and preservatives to ensure long service life. Our treated timber is pressure treated using Tanalith E, producing tanalised timber which is protected from rot, wear, and pests. Dried Timber has been dried to specifically reduce moisture content. Here at Materials Market, all our timber is treated with preservatives, kiln dried, and then planed all round to give it eased edges that make it easier to handle. Ensuring a high quality product that stands the test of time. For all of our timber products, browse our selection of timber available for nationwide delivery service.

What Are Gravel Boards?

A gravel board is a wooden, concrete, or composite board used to protect your fence against wet soil, debris, and insect damage. Gravel boards are usually around 140-150mm in height and positioned underneath your fence panels. In essence, gravel boards are utilised to improve the lifespan of your fencing; they act as a barrier between your fence and damp ground. The additional height helps to prevent moisture damage by preventing direct contact with wet soil.
