Green treated roofing battens in 25 × 38mm and 25 × 50mm
Our green treated battens are a practical, low-cost timber option used across roofing, sheds, garages, outbuildings and general external battening. Choose 25 × 38mm when you want the slimmer section, or 25 × 50mm where the wider batten suits the job.
25 × 38mm is the slimmer roofing-batten size
The new 25 × 38mm × 4.8m batten gives another useful option for roofing and general battening work. It is pressure treated for external use and particularly useful where a narrower batten is preferred.
25 × 50mm gives a wider fixing face
Our green 25 × 50mm treated batten is available in 2.4m, 3.6m, 4.2m and 4.8m lengths and is one of our most popular general-purpose treated timber products.
BS 5534 graded roofing batten is available where specified
For tiled or slated roofs that specifically require graded battens, choose our BS 5534 Roofing Batten – 25 × 50mm × 4.8m.

The correct batten section and spacing depend on the roof covering, support spacing and the job itself. See our Roof Batten Sizes & Spacing Guide. For counter-batten applications, see What Are Counter Battens on a Roof?.
