Timber battens are an excellent way to add a timber element to your design or project.
Timber battens look fantastic indoors and outdoors. They are ideal for use in screening, fencing, linings, feature walls and more. Barwon Timber has a wide range of timber battens species and sizes available.
Our Geelong Mill can rip, saw, dress and oil to your desired size and finish. Many of our customers have created excellent designs with timber purchased from our racks.
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.
- Will the timber battens be painted, oiled, or left raw?
- How much maintenance are you prepared to invest in the building?
- Do you want to use dressed or rough sawn timber battens?
- How long do you expect the building to last?
- Do you want ‘feature’ in the timber and if so, to what grade?
- Can you use unseasoned timber or does it have to be seasoned? We find unseasoned timber is suitable for a lot of outdoor applications.
- What colour do you like – red, yellow, beige, brown or grey?
- What is your budget?
-
What lengths can you use? Short timber batten lengths (1.2 -1.5) will be cheaper. Long lengths can be hard to source.
