Default Wickes timber

Sorry if someone else has already pointed this out but if they have, I
haven't spotted it.

My local Wickes has piles of half-price timber around the place. When
I asked the blokey, he said they are changing the range (which seems a
bit odd) but presumably that means all their branches are flogging
stuff off.


I got the impression that some sizes where going end of line. Eg, I
bought some 3.6m lengths of sawn 4x2 for £4 each last week. There will
still 3m, 1.8m etc. lengths in the racks

I went to buy some gravel boards to lash up some low raised beds in the
garden and came away with treated redwood at a much lower price (£3.30
for each 2.4m length of 144 x 20.5).

Worth investigating if you need anything as there seemed to be quite a
mix of types and sizes but I would recommend taking a saw as many
pieces are 3.6m long, so wouldn't fit in a car.


No, but it fits on the roofbars :-)
