MGP10 (Machine Graded Pine) structural timber is commonly used in residential construction in Australia. MGP10 is kiln-dried and graded for strength, ensuring it meets the requirements for structural building applications.
What is MGP10 Timber?
MGP10 refers to structural timber that is machine stress graded to meet the standards for F-grade pine. The "10" indicates the timber has been graded for 10 megapascal (MPa) stress, meaning it can withstand 10 MPa of pressure along its length. This makes MGP10 suitable for load-bearing applications like wall frames, roof trusses, bearers, and joists.
