I ony asked because the 'stair bulding' book I have has a guy building a
string from plywood
but it doesn't say howlong it is.
For my 3.6m long requirements it sounds cheaper to buy 50mm x 300mm
pirana.

Thanks anyway.


Tempting the fate that befalls everyone who corrects the spelling/grammar
of a post on Usenet, I think there is something fishy about pirana
(almost). You probably mean parana. :-)

But you did also make me wonder if glulam would be suited?

Doesn't look like it is standard in quite the size you want, but I don't
know what flexibility you have in your design at this stage so it might be
useful. (I know nothing about it beyond what I have seen - on the box and
made into big boxes. :-) )


Interesting product and I will call 1 or 2 supliers for quotes. All of the
web sites I've found
have a minimum glulam thickness of 56mm which is too much I think.

But I bet its expensive at any thickness.
