Treated landscape rounded batten with four smooth corners is a practical outdoor timber batten suited to garden edging, raised beds, and general landscaping work. Available in three widths at 4800mm lengths, finished to approximately 20mm thickness with a neat rounded profile that reduces splinter risk on exposed edges.
Specifications

|---|---|
| Treatment | Pressure treated (green preservative treatment) |
| Finish | Four rounded corners, smooth profile |
| Nominal Size | 25 x 50mm / 25 x 75mm / 25 x 100mm |

| Length | 4800mm |
| Profile | Rounded batten, four corners |

What it's used for
- Garden bed edging and raised bed framing where a tidy, splinter-free finish is needed
- Landscape borders, path edging, and lawn separation strips
- Outdoor cladding batten work and timber screen framing
- General garden construction projects requiring a treated batten with a neat appearance
Fitting and handling
Allow the batten to acclimatise outside in a covered, ventilated stack for 24 to 48 hours before fixing, particularly in warm or dry weather, to reduce movement after installation. Fix using galvanised or stainless steel screws to prevent corrosion staining on the treated timber surface. No painting or staining is required for weather protection, though a timber preservative top coat can be applied once the wood has dried down after treatment.
FAQ
Is this batten safe for use in raised vegetable beds?
Modern pressure treated softwood uses copper-based preservatives that meet current UK and EU standards for use near soil. It is widely used for raised beds, though some growers choose to line the interior of food-growing beds as an extra precaution.
What is the actual finished size compared to the nominal size?
The nominal sizes listed (25 x 50mm, 25 x 75mm, 25 x 100mm) are the sawn dimensions before processing. The finished sizes after machining and rounding are approximately 20 x 44mm, 20 x 70mm, and 20 x 95mm respectively.
Do I need to treat the cut ends after sawing to length?
Yes, it is good practice to apply an end grain preservative to any cut ends on site. The pressure treatment does not fully penetrate cut surfaces, so sealing them extends the service life of the batten, particularly where ends are in ground contact or exposed to standing water.
