What Is 3x2 Timber 3m? 

47mm x 75mm 3x2 Timber 3m is a versatile, pressure-treated timber ideal for a range of framing and non-structural applications. Often referred to as 47x75 timber or 3x2, this product is commonly used for stud walls, roofing joists, flooring joists, decking, and garden structures such as pergolas and fencing.

Our 3x2 Timber 3m is kiln-dried and treated with a protective preservative to resist moisture, rot, and insect damage, ensuring longevity and low maintenance. While the nominal dimensions are 47mm x 75mm, the finished size is typically 45mm x 70mm.

We sell 3 x 2 stud timber in various lengths such as 3m, 3.6m and 4.8m - all of which can be trimmed to whichever length your project requires.

Please Note: The finished size of our carcassing 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.


Where is 47mm x 75mm 3x2 Timber 3m Used? 

3 x 2 timber lengths are used for the most part in stud wall partitions, where they provide both the horizontal and vertical sections of a stud wall.

A few examples of how 47x75 timber can be used are:

  • In roof and flooring joists
  • As part of a building structure's timber frame
  • Outdoor decking (due to its durability and moisture resistance)
  • Outdoor frames and pergolas 
  • Fencing
  • Garden sheds and garden furniture


Please note: 3 x 2 is a non-structural timber size, which means that it shouldn't be relied upon to support the building structure.


What is 3x2 Timber In mm?

3 x 2 timber is most often measured in inches, which is an imperial measurement, though it is sometimes measured in metric and this is where millimetres (mm) come into play. 

3x2 is considered to be 50x75mm or 47x75mm. This discrepancy is accounted for by the way the wood is cut and prepared. 

On our website, we sell 75mm x 47mm but the difference in the actual size is minuscule and will not make a meaningful difference to your project.


Is It Easy To Saw 47x75 Timber To My Preferred Size?

Treated wood can be readily cut to the dimensions required in your project, however, this should only be done with the right equipment, eye protection, and a respirator since the cutting process releases tiny airborne particles of wood, possibly impregnated with the chemicals used in pressure-treating.

Treated wood can be more difficult to cut, as it often behaves like wet wood. Exercise caution while cutting to avoid the blade slipping.
