Agricultural purlins are structural timber sections commonly used in the construction of agricultural buildings, barns, sheds and outbuildings. Typically produced from strength-graded softwood, they are designed to provide support for roof coverings and wall cladding in farm and rural building applications.
Purlins offer a practical and cost-effective timber solution where long lengths, consistent section sizes and reliable structural performance are required. They can be supplied untreated or preservative treated depending on the specification, exposure level and intended use.
For agricultural projects, timber purlins are valued for their strength, ease of fixing, availability in larger sections and suitability for both new-build and repair work. Treatment, grading and section size should be selected according to the building design, loading requirements and site conditions.
Typical uses: agricultural buildings, barns, livestock housing, grain stores, machinery sheds, field shelters, roof structures, wall framing, cladding support and general rural construction.
