47 x 50mm Sawn Treated Timber Kiln Dried and Regged

2x2 Treated Sawn Carcassing

Often referred to as 2 x 2 treated wood or 2 x 2 treated timber, this is in relation to the old imperial sizes of 2 inch by 2 inch. Sold by the stated nominal size of 47 x 50mm, this treated sawn carcassing actual finishes around 45 x 45mm but may vary slightly. Once the treated sawn timber is regularised (regged) it gives a finished edge that takes 2mm from nominal thickness and 5mm from the nominal width. This process means the lengths are easier to handle as the finish has slightly rounded edges.

What is 2x2 Pressure Treated Timber?

The timber is treated with high pressure Tanalith E or similar preservative to protect against rot, insects and fungus. This also maximising life-span of timber when compared to untreated timber.
