Explore our range of timber battening for fencing, landscaping, framing and general outdoor construction projects. Battening provides a practical and versatile timber section that can be used for supporting, spacing, fixing and reinforcing a wide variety of garden and building applications.
Our battening range includes planed and pressure-treated timber options suitable for exterior use. The smooth finish makes the timber easier to handle and install, while pressure treatment helps improve resistance to rot, fungal decay and general outdoor weathering.
Timber battens are commonly used for fence repairs, trellis construction, panel reinforcement, garden screening, shed framing and other light-duty structural work. They can be cut, drilled and fixed on site, making them suitable for both professional installers and DIY projects.
Always check the individual product specifications, treatment and intended use before ordering. The correct batten should be selected according to the required strength, spacing and fixing method for the project.

Choosing the Right Battening
Choose the timber section according to the level of support required and the spacing between fixings. Heavier or more demanding applications may require a larger timber section or additional structural support.
Check whether the battening is pressure treated and suitable for the intended outdoor application. Timber used close to the ground or in exposed areas may require additional protection and careful installation.
Calculate the total quantity required and include an allowance for cuts, joints and site adjustments.
Installation and Care
Use suitable exterior-grade screws, nails or brackets for the project. Pre-drilling near the ends of the timber may help reduce splitting.
Where pressure-treated timber is cut or drilled, apply a suitable end-grain treatment to exposed areas. Keep the timber clear of prolonged ground contact where possible and provide adequate drainage around the finished structure.
