Merbau beam F27 solid KD DPR in 90 x 42mm is a kiln-dried structural merbau member graded for high-strength applications where stability and consistent moisture content are important. The F27 stress grade supports demanding load-bearing work, and kiln drying reduces movement compared with unseasoned timber. Merbau is a dense hardwood commonly used where durability and appearance matter, and the DPR profile provides a dressed finish suitable for exposed installations. Use compatible fixings for the exposure environment, pre-drill to avoid splitting, and seal any cut ends to manage moisture and reduce surface checking. Key features F27 stress grade solid merbau for high structural capacity Kiln dried for improved stability and reduced shrinkage DPR dressed profile for a smoother, more consistent finish 90 x 42mm section for framing and exposed beam applications Dense hardwood; pre-drill for screws and bolts to reduce splitting Use compatible galvanised or stainless fixings to suit the environment Available in 2.4m, 3.0m, 3.6m and 4.2m lengths for efficient set-out Seal cut ends and maintain dry storage before installation Common uses Exposed beams and framing in decks, patios and outdoor structures Pergola and screening frames where a dressed hardwood finish is desired Internal or external framing where F27 merbau is specified Structural members for feature framing and posts with brackets Lintels and support members where appearance is important General construction where kiln-dried dressed merbau is required
