I have been quoted this for 2 x 2 wood for building a partition wall....

47 X 50 MM WHITEWOOD OFF SAW TREATED 48.00 £77.02 100 M £36.97
I think the above means 48M charged at £77 per 100M rate =£36.97

Question ..does it have to be treated? or should I be able to use
something cheaper?

The wall will be this size...
Wall width (9ft 8inches 2 x lengths) Floor ceiling height (9ft 9 inches
x 8 lengths)



This is the 'correct' stuff

Only thing to keep in mind about that (CLS) is that because its slightly
planed, its also a little smaller than normal "sawn" timber. Not a
problem if starting fresh, but can cause grief when adding to existing
studwork that is a few mm wider.
