Is this suitable for battens on roof?

[Tagged]

Hi guys.

Im looking at replacing some battens on my garage roof, homebase is close and handy for me to get to.

Would this type of treated wood be suitable for me to use on the roof? I don't have a lot of spare money I know a builders yard would be preferable but as mentioned homebase would be easier for me.

I realise i also need to measure the wood thickness to ensure I match whats currently there.

Thanks for your time!

If the existing is 19 x 38 then it'll do. But you are paying over the odds per metre

If you have one nearby, cheaper (and longer) at Wickes.
And I find that Wickes often have this in stock.
They Also have other sizes of treated wood if you find you need different after measuring.

Thanks guys really appreciate it I went down and bought some as I needed it ASAP and all sorted. Got some of the old bits off and new fresh wood nailed in.

Thanks!

I've got a previous thread with my current redo on my garage roof. It's been a quick job turned into a complete nightmare for me.

I'll be uploading pictures and the end product once it's all finished I hope.

I need to refelt one half, got one half done, redo undercloak and then cement it all up, 4 verges and ridge.

Issue I'm having is some of the battens the wood want straight so I'm finding it difficult to get them back on how they were originally.
