A pile of sawn timber

How Can Sawn Timber Be Used?

Sawn timber is timber that is cut from logs into different shapes and sizes. Sawn timber is usually cut into varying rectangular widths and lengths. Common products made from sawn timber include solid timber beams and posts. These sawn timber products have many purposes. In this article by Weston Sawmill, we will explain how sawn timber can be used outside your home or business.

What is Pressure Treated Sawn Timber?

When timber is pressure treated, this means that the timber will not be prone to rotting or decaying when compared to untreated timber wood. Pressure treated timber is great for outdoor and garden products that are expected to remain outdoors all year round. When timber is treated they can usually handle any harsh weather conditions.

What Is It Used For?

Sawn timber is an essential building material for both small DIY projects and outdoor construction work. It gives you the flexibility to cut, modify, and finish your timber to suit your home or business. It can be used indoors for the construction of pitched roofs, skirting, and floorboards. 

For outdoors, sawn timber can be used for roof soffits, fascia’s, cladding, guttering, and external loading timbers. If you’re looking to revamp your garden landscaping then you can also make new bespoke garden furniture, fencing, decking, and timber screens out of sawn timber products.
