What is Framing Timber?
Framing timber is a type of wood that is used in construction for structural support and load-bearing purposes and an essential building material for residential and commercial construction.
This type of wood is typically made from softwood species such as pine, spruce, and Douglas fir, and is treated to resist rotting and insect infestation. It’s highly durable, versatile, and cost-effective. Structural timber is often used in the construction of walls, floors, ceilings, and roofs and can also be used in the construction of outdoor structures such as decks, pergolas, and gazebos.
