Treated Timber

Find the perfect material for your outdoor project with our range of high-quality treated timber products. Whether you're a DIY enthusiast or a seasoned professional, you can trust our timber range. Ideal for decking projects, structural framing, guttering projects and more, our products offer both exceptional durability and a beautiful finish for your outdoor space.

Treated timber is the go-to choice for any outdoor project. When untreated, timber in its natural condition is vulnerable to its environment - torrential rainfall, a heatwave and wood-boring insects, for example - and it can be prone to decay and damage. On the other hand, this range of quality timber has been specially treated and, therefore, has a much longer lifespan and is resistant to moisture, insects and fungus, meaning it's highly durable and will look its best in your outdoor space for years to come.

Our products are built to withstand harsh conditions, maintaining your structure's integrity and remaining robust, reliable and looking brand-new no matter how unpredictable the weather. They also represent a highly versatile option, ideal for a huge range of outdoor applications, from sturdy, long-lasting decking to structural framing, flower beds, guttering and posts.

Our range of sleepers, for example, are ideal for creating beautiful raised beds, sandpits, play areas, steps and retaining walls. With treatment lasting up to twenty years and a beautiful natural grain, you can create an outdoor oasis to be enjoyed for decades.

Each treated decking board, such as our Redwood decking, is resistant to fungus, moisture and insects, keeping any decked area, whether it's a relaxing garden seating area or a commercial outdoor space, looking fresh and lasting the distance.

Choosing treated wood is a cost-effective option too, requiring minimal maintenance and withstanding the test of time, saving you money in the long term.

Treated Timber FAQs

What is Treated Timber?

Treated timber is wood that has been impregnated with chemical preservatives to protect it from decay, insects, and moisture. This treatment process extends the wood's lifespan, making it suitable for outdoor applications such as decking, fencing, and structural elements. At George Hill Timber, we offer a range of treated timber products, including ACQ-treated options, ensuring durability and longevity for your projects.

Does Treated Timber Rot?

Treated timber is specially protected to resist rot, decay, and insect damage. However, over time, if exposed to constant moisture without proper maintenance, it can still deteriorate. Regular cleaning, ensuring good drainage, and applying additional preservatives can help prevent rot and extend the life of treated timber. When properly cared for, treated timber remains durable and reliable for outdoor use.
