Best way to do end to end joints in 4 x 2 ? In other words to make 2 x
2.4's into a 4.8 ish length.

I was thinking either lap joint & glue & bolts or those spiky washer
things - joint doesn't have to be in line, just resist deflection. Timber
on edge.

Any thoughts?

Umm....

Buy a 5.4m length and cut it down?

What's the application? Will the joint be on show?
