What is 3×2 Timber In mm?

While 3 x 2 timber is typically measured in inches as an imperial measurement, it is sometimes also measured in metric units, specifically millimeters (mm).

3×2 timber is considered to be either 50x75mm or 47x75mm, depending on the cutting and preparation process.

On our website, we sell timber with dimensions of 75mm x 47mm. The difference in actual size is minimal and will not significantly impact your project.

Pressure Treated Timber Benefits

The purpose of pressure treating wood is to infuse preservative chemicals deep into the cellular structure of the timber.

Pressure-treated timber offers several benefits, including:

• Longevity
• Weatherproofing
• Cost-efficiency
• Fungal resistance
• Insect resistance
• Low maintenance requirements

Is It Easy To Cut 47×75 Timber to a Preferred Size?

Treated wood can be easily cut to the dimensions required for your project. However, it is important to use appropriate equipment, wear eye protection, and use a respirator. Cutting treated wood releases small airborne particles of wood, which may contain the chemicals used in pressure treatment.

Treated wood has a consistency similar to wet wood when cutting, so extra care should be taken to ensure the blade does not slip.
