- Structural framing and beams
- Roof trusses and rafters
- Floor joists
- Exterior and interior construction projects
- Color: Pale creamy white to light yellow (May develop a light golden tone over time with exposure to air and sunlight).
- Knots: Sound, tight knots are common, especially in construction-grade timber. Some boards may feature small black or loose knots, depending on the grade (e.g., C16 vs. C24). Knot presence adds natural character but may affect finishing in visible uses.
- Surface Finish: Suitable for sanding, painting, staining, or clear finishing. Minimal resin pockets; may occur occasionally in some boards.
- Defects: Construction grade may allow small surface checks, discoloration, or minor warp within standard tolerances.
Pine timber quick tips
Use C16 for general structural applications and C24 for higher load-bearing needs or longer spans.
Pine is soft and easy to work with, but sharp blades and clean bits will give the best results and reduce tear-out.
To avoid splitting, pre-drill pilot holes when fixing near ends or edges, especially in dry or narrow sections.
Pine is not naturally durable. Use a pressure-treated version or apply a suitable wood preservative for external applications.
