4x2 prices

[Bozza]

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...?

I get it for £9.95 from my local BM so I’d say you have done pretty well!

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 ..!

Have you tried asking them? 

Locally you're lucky if you can get it in under a week.

Thanks for the offer. On careful consideration I am going to buy some walk-on glazing instead.
