πŸͺ΅ KNOW YOUR TIMBER SIZES! - 114 x 38 x 6M EXPLAINED πŸͺ΅

Many people ask: What is difference between 228, 152 and 114? Let me teach you - from Ishmael at Foreign Timber!

3 MAIN SIZES FOR YOUR ROOF:

1. 228 x 38 x 6M - THE KING / BIG BOSS
Heavy duty! Used for Ridge (top of roof), floor joists, big spans. Where you need MAXIMUM strength. If your house is big, you need this.

2. 152 x 38 x 6M - THE RAFTER / BACKBONE
The most common rafter. Holds your roof sheets. This is the skeleton of your roof. Every house needs this.

3. 114 x 38 x 6M (PICTURED HERE) - THE PURLIN / ALL-ROUNDER
This is the one EVERYONE buys! Small but very important!

Used for:
βœ… Purlins - holds IBR / Chromadek sheets tight, no leaking!
βœ… Brandering - for ceiling boards
βœ… Batten & Wall Plate - finishing jobs
βœ… Furniture, gates, small jobs - very versatile!

Why 114x38 from us is special? Look at picture - RED, DRY, TREATED! It won't rot, won't be eaten by termites, won't bend!

Pro Tip: Don't try to use 114 where you need 152! Roof will sag! Ask Ishmael, I will advise you for FREE!

We have ALL 3 sizes in stock - 6M full length!

βœ… Floor Joists - strong for decking & upper floors
βœ… Heavy-duty rafters - for big spans, no sagging!
