Planed Softwood Timber 75x75mm (3 x 3 inch) finished size 69x69mm

Planed Softwood Timber 75x75mm (finished size 69x69mm) is a versatile square-edged timber option for interiors and light joinery projects. Built from softwood, its planed faces provide a smooth base that accepts stains, oils or lacquers for a clean, professional finish.

Planed timber is commonly supplied as Planed Square Edge (PSE) or Planed All Round (PAR). PSE timber has planed surfaces on the main faces, while PAR has planing on all sides for a uniformly smooth finish. PAR tends to cost a bit more because it is used where every side is visible, delivering a higher aesthetic when the timber is on show.

Why choose the 75x75mm planed option? The 75x75mm cross‑section gives a consistent square profile, suitable for feature pieces and precise joinery. The finished size of 69x69mm ensures neat fits where exact width and depth matter. Each face is planed to a smooth surface, making it straightforward to apply stains, oils or lacquers and achieve a tidy, professional look.

• Interiors: shelving, cabinetry components, window boards and decorative features
• Visible joinery: ideal where timber will be on show
• Furniture elements: frames, supports and light structural details
• Versatile for a range of projects, including sash windows and panelled features
• Exterior use with proper treatment: can be used outside if preserved and maintained

Stock is available in a range of lengths from 0.9m up to 4.2m, allowing you to choose short pieces for tight spaces or longer sections for larger builds. For exterior applications, apply a suitable preservative and maintain the timber to protect against the elements; untreated softwood is more susceptible to moisture ingress.

If you’re aiming for a clean, contemporary look or need a dependable timber for interior detailing, this size provides a reliable, easy-to-work-with option that fits a variety of project needs.
