Treated Bearer 4 Garden Shed Query?
Hello,
I am having a shed delivered and built this week-end. I have already done the prep work (i.e sand/cement base and then flags on top). I wanted to put some bearers on top of the flags and then the shed. However, I seem unable to find somewhere I can buy treted bearers. I went to B&Q where and the assistent recommended i use decking wood. Can anybody avises as to where I can get treated bearers from or suggest alternatives? Many thanks. |

Hi Christian,
Many thanks for your reply. I believe that the shed do come with some, but don't think they are high enough. I just wanted to give the shed a bit more height by placing be bearers first. |

You can get pressure-treated sawn 3x3 just about anywhere - would that do? I used pressure, treated fence posts for mine (probably 3x3). -- Chris French |

Hi guys,
Many thanks for the replies. I will probably go for the pressure treated fence post idea. This may sound like a daft question but is there any way of telling if they are pressure treated or not?
