LVL meySPAN H3V Treated
LVL meySPAN H3V Treated Sydney
For structural timber that lives outdoors, the treatment matters as much as the grade. LVL meySPAN H3V is an engineered structural beam with H3 preservative driven through every veneer layer, giving full-depth protection against decay and termites in exposed, above-ground conditions. Because the treatment runs the full section and not just the surface, you do not retreat cut ends on site, which saves time and removes a real failure point on outdoor framing. We stock it in depths from 150mm to 300mm, with 45mm and 63mm flange widths.
Why H3V for Exposed Work
H3 is the treatment level for timber exposed to weather but kept above ground: pergolas, carports, verandahs, exposed beams and rafters. The “V” is the part that counts on a structural member. Surface-treated timber leaves an untreated core, so every cut you make on site opens a path for decay and termites unless you retreat it. meySPAN H3V is treated through every veneer, so a cut end is as protected as the face, with no brush-on retreat and no weak point where the saw went through.
Under the treatment it is full-strength LVL: built from bonded veneers under heat and pressure, so it runs straight and stays straight, resisting the warping, twisting, and shrinkage that solid timber suffers outdoors. That makes it the reliable choice for long-span and load-bearing work where the member is on show or in the weather.
What Goes With It
Exposed structural timber needs corrosion-rated fixings. Use galvanised or stainless framing connectors and post supports with Class 3 or stainless structural screws and bolts to match the H3 exposure, since standard fixings corrode where the timber will last.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is LVL meySPAN H3V Treated?
A structural laminated veneer lumber beam with H3 preservative treatment applied through every veneer layer, for load-bearing use in exposed, above-ground conditions like pergolas, carports, and exposed framing.
What does “full-depth” or H3V treatment mean?
The H3 treatment runs through the whole section, not just the surface, so cut ends stay protected and do not need retreating on site.
What sizes are available?
Depths from 150mm to 300mm, with 45mm and 63mm flange widths. Match depth to span and flange to load.
Can I use it for a pergola or carport?
Yes. H3V is suited to exposed above-ground structural work. Confirm sizing against your span and load, and check the product specification sheet before ordering.
What fixings should I use with H3 timber?
Use corrosion-rated fixings, Class 3 galvanised or stainless, to match the exposure. Standard fixings can corrode where H3 timber is designed to last. Call 1300 554 775 if you need help matching them.
