From R325.68 (3.0 m length) to R716.50 (6.6 m length).
South African pine, 38 × 228 mm, in the six standard lengths from 3.0 m to 6.6 m. S5 stress grade (SANS 1783-2) — the standard grade for house roof trusses, rafters and purlins. H2 treatment protects against insects and borers for timber kept dry and under cover — roof trusses, ceiling battens and interior framing, never exposed to weather or damp. The budget choice for roofs. Sized (planed to a uniform size) — the profile truss makers and roof builders use, so every member lines up.

Typical Uses
- Heavy structural roof beams
- Long-span rafters and ridge beams
- Floor joists over longer spans
Member sizes, spans and the grade come from your truss design, the SANS 10400-L span tables or your engineer — S7 only where it is specified.
Handling & Storage
Stack flat on level bearers clear of the ground, under cover and with spacers so air moves through. Seal every cut end of treated timber with a brush-on preservative before it goes up. Wear gloves and a dust mask when cutting CCA-treated timber, and never burn the off-cuts.
Delivery & Returns
Timber comes on the merchant's flatbed: we confirm the grade and treatment, stock, the delivery slot and any delivery charge with you before dispatch. See the Shipping & Delivery and Returns & Refunds policies. Returning materials that were supplied correctly carries an 18% handling fee.
