Timber Carcassing FAQs

Can You Use Treated Carcassing Timber Outside?

Yes. Treated carcassing timber is ideal for any project that requires a longer lifespan or extra protection. This includes outdoor and garden projects including sheds and other garden structures such as decking, trellises, or gazebos.

How Long Does Treated Timber Last Outside?

Timber which has been treated should last at least 15 years and possibly much more if it is well looked after. If you choose pressure-treated timber for your DIY projects, it is unlikely to rot or decay as quickly as untreated timber would.
