Suitable timber for replacing gable end trim

should I use hardwood to replace rotten gable trim or is treated softwood acceptable. Obviously a massive difference in price and will be painted black

Thinking_wtf, good evening.

Given that the timber of whatever species used is to be primed and painted, it will not matter what species of timber is used.

Having said that, treated softwood will be fine for your venture [and being a Scot - - -Cheaper - - ]
