LAMINATED MERBAU BEAMS GL17S
Laminated Merbau structural beams (GL17S), engineered from finger-jointed, glued Merbau sections for deck bearers, joists, and pergola/carport beams. Sizes range from 90x42mm up to heavy 290x80mm sections rated for longer spans.
Frequently Asked Questions
What size beam do I need for my deck or pergola span?
Beam size depends on span, spacing, and load — a builder or engineer will confirm exact sizing from span tables, but generally the wider and deeper the beam (e.g. 240x80mm vs 140x42mm), the longer the unsupported span it can carry.
What's the benefit of GL17S laminated beams over solid timber?
Laminated beams are glued from smaller kiln-dried sections, giving greater strength grading (GL17), better dimensional stability, and less risk of warping or splitting than an equivalent solid-sawn beam, especially in larger sizes.
What length do these beams come in?
Standard length is 3.6m, which suits most bearer and beam spans for residential decks and pergolas.
Can these beams be used outdoors and in ground contact?
They're suited to outdoor structural use such as deck bearers and pergola beams, but should be kept off direct ground contact using appropriate joist hangers, post supports, or bearers to maximise lifespan.
Do you provide span or load advice for these beams?
We can advise on general product specifications, but for structural span and load calculations we recommend checking with your builder, engineer, or local council for your specific project.
