Price of timber

[muff13]

Hi

I wonder if anyone can give me an idea of the price of 3"x2" treated timber for external use. It would be used for the construction of a polytunnel and I think the total amount needed would be in the region of 130 feet.

I would also need about 50 feet of 2"x2" treated timber for external use for the doors.

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks very much - I had searched on line but had failed to find anywhere that had prices.

Wickes is as good a place as any of get this for a DIYer. If you don't have one near you, try phoning Jewson or one of the other large Builders' Merchants near you to compare prices. Expect discount on this sort of quantity (though not from Wickes). You will find it priced per metre and sold in various sizes from 2.4m to 4.2m in 0.3m increments. You should be able to work out which length multiples you don't want - to avoid too much offcut waste when you cut.

3x2 for a poly tunnel?

Thanks buildersmate. We don't have a Wickes near us but do have a branch of Jewson or also Rembrand Timber. I shall try one of them.

Yes, No, Knowledge. It is 3" x 2" for a polytunnel. Not a conventional polytunnel as such but a Space Saver.
