70 x45

70mm x 45mm timber is a relatively small and lightweight structural timber used in various applications in construction, particularly in residential projects.

One common use for 70mm x 45mm timber is as a stud for interior walls. The timber's size is adequate to support the weight of the wall and its contents, but not heavy enough to support the weight of a roof or floor. It is also used for partition walls, where it is not required to support significant loads.

Additionally, 70mm x 45mm timber can be used as a nogging or blocking. These are shorter pieces of timber that are inserted between the studs to provide lateral support and prevent them from twisting or warping. Noggings and blocking are commonly used in walls, floors, and roofs.

Another common use for 70mm x 45mm timber is in the construction of outdoor structures, such as pergolas, decks, and fences. It is suitable for lighter structural elements such as balusters, handrails, and infill panels, where it provides adequate strength and stiffness for the application.

As with all structural timber sizes, the specific use of 70mm x 45mm timber will depend on the design and requirements of the building or structure being constructed. The size and spacing of the timber will be determined by the load they need to support and the structural requirements of the building.
