Bozza Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 Will be building a timber frame workshop/outbuilding and was after a quantity of 4x2. Took a punt at this in a local auction. After fees, delivery etc each length is costing me £8.50 each, so £1.77 per m. Not being in the trade I don’t have access to trade discounts etc but seems an ok deal for me as joe public. it’s more than I need but can always flog my leftovers on FB. Just wondering what the builders merchants etc are charging for 4x2 just now and whether it was worth it...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonny Posted May 19, 2021 Share Posted May 19, 2021 I get it for £9.95 from my local BM so I’d say you have done pretty well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on it’s grade - if that’s 4x2 ungraded CLS then price wise it’s not far off. If it’s C16 graded you got a bit of a bargain ..! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
