YORKSHIRE BOARDING
ROUGH SAWN 100mm x 22mm BOARDS, RAILS & PALES
Rough-sawn "Yorkshire boarding" is a traditional, durable vertical timber cladding system, typically green-treated softwood, used primarily on agricultural buildings to provide excellent ventilation while keeping rain out.
It features spaced boards (often 100mm boards with 50mm gaps), offering a rustic, functional solution for cladding, garden screening, and livestock sheds.
Benefits of Yorkshire Boarding:
- Improved Ventilation: The design allows for high air circulation, which is crucial for healthy agricultural environments.
- Weather Protection: Despite the gaps, the overlapping nature of the boards, or the specific spacing, helps keep the interior dry.
- Durability: The pressure-treated timber is designed for a long lifespan, resistant to bugs and decay.
- Aesthetics: Provides a rustic, natural, or traditional look to buildings.
100mm x 22mm (approximately 4" x 1") treated timber boards are highly versatile for outdoor landscaping, fencing, and construction projects. Common uses include gravel boards, garden edging, hit-and-miss fencing, raised beds, cladding, and rustic furniture. These robust, pressure-treated boards are ideal for withstanding weathering and resisting rot.
Primary Uses for 100mm x 22mm Rough-Sawn Boards:
- Fencing: Ideal for hit-and-miss fencing (horizontal or vertical), rustic fence pales/slats, and as base gravel boards to lift fence panels off the ground.
- Landscaping & Garden: Perfect for creating flexible garden edging for paths and flower beds, constructing raised sleeper beds, and building plant ladders.
- General Construction & DIY: Suitable for pergola parts, rough cladding, concrete shuttering, and temporary work.
- Outdoor Furniture: Useful for making simple garden benches or planters.
These boards are often sold as "sawn treated timber" or "4x1 timber" and are popular for both functional and rustic designs.
