MGP10 timber stands for "Machine Graded Pine" with a stiffness rating of 10. This classification ensures that every piece of timber has been mechanically tested to withstand specific design stresses. Unlike unrated timber, MGP10 offers a predictable level of strength, making it the preferred choice for structural timber Melbourne professionals rely on for residential framing and outdoor structures.
Our range includes popular dimensions such as 70x35mm and 90x45mm, tailored for various load-bearing applications. However, the true "secret sauce" of our timber is the H3 LOSP treatment. LOSP (Light Organic Solvent Preservative) is a sophisticated treatment process that protects the wood without changing its dimensions or moisture content. This results in H3 LOSP treated pine that is:
• Termite Resistant: Built-in protection against Australia’s most destructive pests.
• Decay Protected: Rated for Hazard Level 3 (H3), meaning it is suitable for above-ground outdoor use where it may be exposed to periodic wetting.
• Dimensionally Stable: Since the LOSP process doesn't use water, the timber is less likely to twist, warp or cup compared to traditional water-borne treatments.
These features make our timber options ideal for both indoor and outdoor use where strength and longevity are essential.
The versatility of termite-resistant timber makes it an essential component for various projects across the Clyde North area:
1. Structural Framing: The high strength-to-weight ratio of MGP10 is ideal for wall frames and roof trusses.
2. Decking Sub-structures: Use H3 rated pine for joists and bearers to ensure your outdoor entertainment area has a solid, rot-resistant foundation.
3. Landscaping: Perfect for decorative screening, pergolas and garden features where durability is paramount.
4. General Construction: It provides a cost-effective and easy-to-work-with solution for minor home repairs to large-scale renovations.
If you're sourcing for structural timber in Melbourne, this product delivers the performance required for both large-scale builds and smaller renovation projects.
Choosing timber shouldn’t come at the cost of the planet. Our treated pine is sourced exclusively from sustainably managed, renewable plantations. The LOSP treatment process is also considered eco-friendlier than older chemical alternatives, ensuring that your build supports a circular economy and reduces your carbon footprint.
