This 20 x 10 cm section (8" x 4") is priced at 5.50/m, but if the whole pallet appeals we will certainly do you a discount!
Lengths range from 70 - 140cm on the pallet, and go up to 2.4m in the shop.

Sleepers range from 6"x3" up to 8"x4" and 1.2 - 2.4m lengths, the scaffs are all at least 3m long. Cladding is new unused, around 12mm thick x 90mm wide, well over 500m in stock for just £1/m. I didn't see all of the sheets, but they look too be a mix of 18mm ply and OSB.
So do call in to see the full range, as there're far too many things to post pictures of them all!

The table used to be three bits of scaffolding board that was planed down, glued together, routed edges, sanded down and waxed using Liberon UK black bison walnut wax.
How good does it look now 😍
All of our kindling (£3.50/bag) is made from reclaimed waste softwood, and we have bagged softwood off-cut sacks (£4.50 each) produced from waste timber in store.
Now that we are processing our own live edge boards we have firewood off-cuts from these as well - it's the same size sack as the softwood but for £7 instead. Only limited quantities though, just 7 sacks available today.
Kiln dried beech logs are on order and should be arriving with us tomorrow. The approx 10kg bags will be £6.95 each.

This metal topped with bench had got to go, as sadly we haven't got space for it.
Now reduced to £125, but we're open to offers. Call 01235861228 or visit us to view.
We collected this item from a museum in Bicester. It's a really sturdy unit so will need a few people to lift, though we can also deliver within 30 miles.
Must go this week or we will have to dismantle it 😢
