What is a timber bastaing?

The timber bastaing is a longitudinal piece with a rectangular cross-section. Larger than a rafter and smaller than a timber plank, the bastaing is used in roof frame construction. It serves as a purlin, joist, or rafter. The timber bastaing also serves as a structural element in the construction of decking, parquet flooring, or external insulation cladding.

How to choose a timber bastaing?

The choice of a bastaing depends first on the location of the construction. For cladding or a terrace, choose class 3 or 4 bastaings (Douglas fir, pine, and fir with pressure treatment). For a roof frame or interior framing, class 2 bastaings are suitable. Then choose your bastaings according to the load weight. The larger the bastaing cross-section, the higher its strength. For load calculations, follow the advice of our professionals.
