A few questions to consider?when making your decision, on species and finish. ?The timber team at Barwon can give you a hand to go through these if you need help.

1. Will the timber battens be painted, oiled, or left raw?
2. How much maintenance are you prepared to invest in the building?
3. Do you want to use dressed or rough sawn timber battens?
4. How long do you expect the building to last?
5. Do you want ?feature? in the timber and if so, to what grade?
6. Can you use unseasoned timber or does it have to be seasoned? ?We find unseasoned timber is suitable for a lot of outdoor applications.
7. What colour do you like - red, yellow, beige, brown or grey?
8. What is your budget?
9. 
   What lengths can you use? Short timber batten lengths (1.2 -1.5) will be cheaper. ? Long lengths can be hard to source.
