Treated Pine Timber

What does F5, F7 & MGP10 mean?

F Grades are visually graded.

F5 is the lowest structural grade available

Grade	Characteristic Strength (MPa)				Modulus of Elasticity (MPa)	Modulus of Rigidity (MPa)
	Bending f’b	Tension f’t	Shear f’b	Compression f’c
F5	16	8.2	1.8	12	6900	460
MGP10	16.2	8.9	5.0	23.6	10000	670
F8	25	13	2.5	20	9100	610
MGP12	28	15	6.5	28.9	12700	850
F14	40	21	3.7	30	12000	800
MGP15	41.3	22.7	9.1	35.4	15200	1010

MGP – means Machine Graded Pine.

This is structurally superior timber.

MGP10 is a better grade than the F5 sold in the “majors”, as such the price should be higher. Compare apples with apples!

However, we are now selling MGP 10 & F7 at the F5 price.

You win, because you are getting a superior product at the cheaper price

Why “rougher header”?

ü Treated pine is very durable.

• Smooth dressing can sometimes promote splitting.

ü Grooving can prevent splitting.

• Moisture can sit on flat surfaces and cause mould.

ü Reeding promotes airflow which discourages mould.

ü Reeding makes it easier to grip timber when working

ü If you whack someone on the head with a 4 x 2, you do not want it slipping out of your hands! (I do not condone this at all by the way, so don’t say I encouraged you! It is merely an observation – not that I have personally done it or seen it! It can be a good debt collection method, but in the words of one of the Carlton Crew, use your imagination……)
