Rafters

 

At Super Build Hardware, we offer high-quality rafter timber essential for constructing robust and reliable roof structures. Whether you’re building a new home, renovating an existing structure, or working on a commercial or industrial building, our rafter timber ensures strength, safety, and structural longevity.

Rafters are fundamental elements in roof construction. These sloped structural members extend from the ridge or hip of the roof down to the wall plate. Their primary function is to support the weight of the roof covering—such as tiles, sheeting, or thatching—as well as external forces like wind, rain, and snow. The quality of your rafters plays a critical role in the durability and integrity of your entire roofing system.

When you choose rafter timber from Super Build Hardware, you’re investing in material that has been carefully selected and engineered to meet the highest building standards in South Africa. Whether you’re a contractor, builder, or DIY enthusiast, our timber is the trusted choice for professional-grade results.

Key Features of Our Rafter Timber:

• Durability:
  Crafted from premium-grade timber, our rafters are engineered to withstand heavy loads and harsh environmental conditions. Whether exposed to sun, moisture, or varying temperatures, these rafters retain their strength and reliability over time.

• Versatility:
  Our rafter timber is suitable for a wide variety of roofing designs, including gable roofs, hip roofs, mono-pitch roofs, and custom architectural styles. Whether your project is traditional or modern, our timber adapts to suit your construction needs.

• Precision-Cut for Easy Installation:
  Each piece of timber is accurately cut and graded to ensure consistent sizing and an easier installation process. This saves time on-site, minimizes material wastage, and helps maintain a high-quality finish throughout your project.

• Treatment Options Available:
  We offer treated timber options that are protected against termites, rot, and fungal decay, making them ideal for outdoor and long-term use. Treated rafter timber adds an extra layer of durability and peace of mind, especially in coastal or humid regions.

  While delivering superior strength and quality, our timber also remains competitively priced—offering excellent value for money without compromising performance or safety.
