[Hammer A Must]

Hi

I am changing my bath and do not want to solely trust the flimsy bath legs that have come with it.

Seen some very sturdy frames being built to assist the legs.

What is the size and type of timber frames best for this job please?.

Is it a softwood? Whats the proper terminology for it?

Many thanks
