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?


Twas just an example! I need to join to get to 9+ metres.

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


Bearer for deck - never be seen - ugly no problem!
