It's a good price but if it's anything like their quality of late you only need a few to make a giant circle in your garden with ease.
Just hoping this means our local timber yard is getting back to normal.
I bought some today and almost everyone I picked up was perfect (Edinburgh, Hermiston Gate).
Felt weird after buying it at wickes for the last 2 years and needing to sort through 20-30 bits to find a few decent ones.
Must've just been lucky! (edited)
order 3x2 the other day, it's been a while, so was surprised by this CLS stuf,
what a load of $olluck$,
how on earth can you call it 3x2 more like 2.5" x 1.5"
I’m not sure if you’re joking here or not. But just in case you’re not 3x2 is the nominal size, I.e. it’s that size before it’s plained down.
The correct title (and size) should be "Metsä Wood Round edge Whitewood CLS timber (L)2.4m (W)63mm (T)38mm" as shown in the link.
Hopefully a sign the supply chain is getting back to normal levels and profiteering off the back of COVID (supply/demand) is coming to an end.
Inflation will keep prices higher than we'd like but some kind of normality is welcomed. Good price.
Good deal . But remember just 6 years ago this being £1.30 a length if you bought 10 or more . Timber prices have tripled in 5-7 years . It’s only going to get more expensive.
Just wait for real economic woes to come
Timber CPI has dropped massively. About time it was reduced at the end user. Dont Fortget to use clubcard voucher too. 10 lengths for £26.50.
Good price
would this stuff be ok for a shed? I know its not treated but ideally the shed wouldn't be constantly wet? o.0
Treatment is also to stop fungal rot, sapstain, molds, and wood-destroying insects.
Any one know if 38mmx89mm is getting cheaper
Guess depends on location. At moment best price anywhere close to us is £3.99 for 2.4m, they also have 63mm (same as this deal) for 2.99.
Its the reason we held off moving as quotes before covid were 40% less in construction material than they are coming in now, so the extra profit on our current property gets wiped instantly on extortinate costs for building works on our new one.
Thanks OP. Anyone would think these grow on trees!
Wickes have started, thank god, ive been putting off so much woodwork due to the prices. wickes.co.uk/Wic…177
