Ungraded Carcassing Timber FAQs

What is Ungraded Carcassing Timber Used For?

Ungraded carcassing timber is typically chosen for general outdoor projects where structural grading isn’t required. Because it is rough-sawn and more affordable, it works well for things like garden planters, fencing, and other landscaping features. While it provides a practical and rustic finish, it isn’t designed for load-bearing use, making it better suited to decorative or light-duty applications.

What Are the Benefits of Carcassing Timber?

Carcassing timber offers a strong, versatile, and cost-effective solution for construction and landscaping projects. It is kiln-dried for added stability, making it less prone to warping or splitting, and is available in both graded and ungraded options depending on whether structural strength is required. Its adaptability means it can be used for everything from joists and framing to fencing and garden features, providing both practicality and long-lasting performance.
