If you’re casting slabs, beams or walls, the timber you support your formwork with matters as much as the concrete itself. H20 timber beams have become the standard for serious formwork across Nigeria — and for good reason.
What is an H20 beam?
An H20 is an engineered timber beam with an I-shaped (web-and-flange) cross-section, roughly 200mm tall. That profile gives it a very high strength-to-weight ratio: it carries heavy loads, stays straight, and can be reused pour after pour — unlike random site-cut timber that warps, splits and ends up as waste.
Why contractors switch to H20
Three reasons keep coming up on site: load capacity (predictable, rated performance under wet concrete), reusability (a good beam survives dozens of cycles, lowering cost per pour), and speed (consistent dimensions mean faster, safer deck assembly).
Choosing the right length
Feranliz Wood stocks the common formwork lengths — 2.9m (from ₦50,000), 3.9m (₦61,000) and 4.9m (₦72,000) — with other lengths available on request. As a rule, match the beam length to your joist spacing and slab span, and keep a mix on site so you’re not cutting expensive beams down unnecessarily.
Buy from one accountable supplier
We supply H20 beams alongside marine boards and formwork accessories and deliver to site nationwide — so your structure and your finishes come from the same team. Talk to a sales agent for trade pricing and bulk quantities.
