Hello @elaroche
Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's wonderful to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about untreated structural pine.
In order for me to assist you further, can you please tell me what the closest store to your area is and how many lengths of 90x45 were you planning to order? I can then make some inquiries for you and find out what other timber sizes are available.
If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.
Eric
Thank you Eric,
my closest store is Belrose : Austlink Corp Park, Niangala Cl, Belrose NSW 2085
Ideally I'm looking for a delivery as I don't have a UTE at the moment.
I took a screenshot of the cart like this you have the details of the 16 timbers and their size.
I hope the upload worked 😅
Hi @elaroche,
I apologise, as I can see you've gone to the effort of adding the items to your cart, but the untreated Pine is not stocked in your locality. I've contacted our timber supplier, and we are only able to order untreated Pine in full-pack quantities. The items appear on the site as they are available in some regional localities, but I can understand how that can be frustrating when trying to place an order. I'll pass this feedback on to our merchandise team to look into.
Construction-grade timbers have a structural rating to them and are most often used for framing walls. According to the Building Code of Australia, internal building constructions in the Tropic of Capricorn require the use of H2-treated timber, which has a Pyrethroid treatment to prevent borer and insect attacks. Unfortunately, in your case, you'd like to use that calibre for your loft bed, not the construction of a cladded wall.
We do stock Porta 90 x 45mm 2.4m DAR Pine Standard & Better for use in projects such as building beds, but as you mentioned, this dressed timber will add cost to the project. The added cost is due to it being a dressed smooth timber and the limited knot and defect inclusions.
It might not suit your current needed lengths, but we have some 90 x 45mm Framing MGP10 Untreated Pine 2.4m at Bunnings Carlingford that can be delivered to you.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

Hello @elaroche
Would you be able to modify your plan to use 3-meter lengths instead of 3.6m? The good news is that I've managed to track down 90 x 45mm Framing MGP10 Untreated Pine 3.0m at Bunnings Balgowlah. They currently have 80 pieces in stock so if you can modify your plan to 3-meter lengths, you'll be able to get the amount that you need for your project.
If you need further assistance, please let us know.
Eric
