Title: Planed and treated timber
Post by Lectrician on Nov 5^th, 2013, 6:31am

Looking for some planed and treated timber, approx 12-18mm x 80mm x 2m ish. It's to trim around the edges of a dungwalled fence.

My local suppliers are proving unhelpful.

Wheres the best paces to look?

Thanks.

Gravel boards are the easily available treated slim boards, but they are rough to say the least. It isn't practical to cut down a thicker piece as you will expose the relatively untreated core so, for such a short piece, I would get a piece of oak. Make sure it has no sapwood as this is not durable.
