1. LVL E10/F11 H2 (PER LM) — FROM $3.75 Inc. GST

90X35 2.7M — $3.75 Inc. GST
90X45 2.7M — $4.55 Inc. GST

What it is:

LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) E10/F11 H2 is a precision-engineered structural timber product manufactured by bonding multiple layers of veneer under heat and pressure. The E10/F11 grading confirms its high stiffness and bending strength rating, while the H2 hazard level treatment provides protection against termites for above-ground interior applications. It consistently outperforms traditional sawn timber in straightness, strength and dimensional stability.

How to use it:

Cut to length with a drop saw and install according to your structural plans and engineer’s specifications. LVL is designed to resist warping, bowing and twisting — making it the preferred choice for long spans where consistent performance is critical. Available this month in two sizes: 90x35mm and 90x45mm, both at 2.7m lengths, priced per linear metre.

Where it’s used:

Widely specified by builders, frame and truss fabricators and structural engineers across Melbourne and Victoria for floor joists, wall framing, lintels, rafters and other load-bearing structural applications in residential and commercial construction. This is the same LVL we featured in our June building supplies specials — back again this August at updated prices.

2. 5.0 X 152MM SDPW DEFLECTOR SCREW (50 PACK) — $132.00 Inc. GST

What it is:

The Simpson Strong-Tie 5.0 x 152MM SDPW Deflector Screw is a high-performance structural connector screw engineered specifically for use with Simpson Strong-Tie timber connection hardware, including joist hangers, post bases and structural brackets. The SDPW screw features a patented deflector point that prevents the screw from drifting during installation — ensuring a straight, accurate drive every time. The 50-pack format is ideal for trade and site use.

How to use it:

Drive directly into timber using a standard drill/driver — no pre-drilling required. The deflector tip self-aligns with the pre-punched holes in Simpson Strong-Tie connectors, making installation fast and accurate. Suitable for use with seasoned and unseasoned timbers. Always install per the connector manufacturer’s specifications for structural compliance.

Where it’s used:

The go-to structural screw for builders and carpenters across Melbourne and Victoria installing Simpson Strong-Tie joist hangers, post bases, framing anchors, hurricane ties and other structural timber connectors on residential and commercial projects. If you’re using Pryda or Simpson connectors on your current build, these screws are the correct fastener for the job.

3. DOOR JAMB EXTERNAL MERANTI ASSEMBLED 2040 X 820 X 140MM — $215.00 Inc. GST

What it is:

This External Meranti Door Jamb is a fully assembled door frame ready for installation, manufactured from quality Meranti hardwood — a durable, fine-grained timber well suited to exterior applications. At 2040 x 820 x 140mm, it’s sized for a standard single external door opening and comes pre-assembled to save time on site.

Meranti is prized for its stability, workability and natural resistance to the elements, making it a popular choice for external joinery across Australian residential construction.

How to use it:

Set the assembled jamb into the prepared door opening, pack and plumb to level, then secure to the surrounding framing using appropriate fixings. The pre-assembled format eliminates the time spent cutting and joining individual jamb components on site — simply set, fix and hang your door. Prime and paint all surfaces including end grain before installation for maximum weather protection and longevity.

Where it’s used:

Ideal for builders, carpenters and renovators fitting external doors on residential and light commercial projects across Melbourne and Victoria. Suited to new builds and replacement door frame installations where a quality, ready-to-install external hardwood frame is required.
