TrueSpan E10 LVL
TrueSpan E10 is a structural laminated veneer lumber engineered as a direct replacement for MGP10 pine — straighter, stronger and more consistent from stud to lintel. Manufactured by Tilling Timber and in-grade tested to AS/NZS 4357 & 4063, every length carries the blue TrueSpan stamp so it's unmistakable on site.
Every length stamped blue — spot it on any site.
Performance
Faster, more accurate builds.
Natural pine moves, bows and varies. TrueSpan E10 doesn't. As a laminated veneer lumber it's built up from graded veneers bonded under pressure, delivering a straight, stable, predictable section from studs to lintels — no packing, no planing, and far less waste on site.
TrueSpan E10 is an E10 grade LVL suited to any application where LVL is permitted across residential and light commercial framing. For spans and connection design, refer to the specification sheet and your project engineer.
- Perfectly straight walls — studs to lintels with no packing or planing.
- Direct MGP10 replacement — slots into the same framing details.
- Meets or exceeds MGP10 — reliable, consistent structural properties.
- In-grade tested — to AS/NZS 4357 & 4063 for dependable design values.

Design notes
- Characteristic values apply to dry service conditions.
- For beams deeper than 90 mm, multiply by (90/d)0.167, where d is member depth.
- For LVL on the flat thicker than 45 mm, multiply by (45/t)0.333, where t is member thickness.
- For tension members with the larger cross-section > 150 mm, multiply by (150/d)0.167.
