47mm x 125mm Sawn Treated Timber C16/C24 (5" x 2") 6m

Please Note: 

• Timber may be supplied with engineered finger-joints. Engineered timber has a glue line that is stronger than the timber itself; it also has all defects and knots removed. This makes engineered timber 60% stronger than its solid timber alternatives.
• The finished size of our timber may vary slightly from the nominal dimensions. You can expect to receive timber that is finished with a thickness 2mm less and a width 5mm less than the nominal measurements stated. Colour and finish are representative only and may vary slightly as this is a natural product.

What Is 5x2 Timber 6m?

5x2 Timber 6m is a robust, pressure-treated timber designed to withstand the rigours of the UK climate. Whether it’s battling rot, resisting insect infestation, or enduring the grey and damp weather, this C16/C24 graded timber is built to last. 

Engineered to offer superior durability, this timber is perfect for various construction and joinery applications, ensuring your projects remain strong and reliable.Despite their difference in quality, both C16 and C24 timber deliver well in most construction projects. While C16 wood is somewhat less durable than C24, it is still sturdy and resilient, making it suitable for strength and load-bearing.

We recommend using the stronger, more dependable C24 timber grade for larger-scale projects (or in applications where strength is critical, such as balconies, terraces, and bridges).

Here, at Materials Market, we stock 47x125 timber in various lengths of 2.4m, 3m, 3.6m, 4.8m and 6m - all of which can be cut or sawn to length.

You can expect to receive timber that is finished with a thickness 2mm less and a width 5mm less than the nominal measurements stated.
