machtucker Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Hi, I need to source 150mm x150mm x 3m Oak posts for a pergola/screen structure. I also need 150mm x 50mm x 24m oak beams. Can anyone recommend a supplier? I've found a few but there are a fair distance from me and charge £180 for delivery. I'm in Fleet, Hampshire. Many thanks, Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machtucker Posted July 12, 2023 Author Share Posted July 12, 2023 Seeing as we are going to paint the Oak I'm now wondering whether we need oak or whether we could use a treated softwood. I kind of like the durability of it but maybe it's an overkill, what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Ambrose Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The beauty of oak is that it weathers to a silver colour and doesn't need any treatment. It's quite acidic - you need to use stainless fixings, A4 rather than A2 if it's not too expensive. I like to do things only once - so I used oak for our raised beds etc. If you paint then you'll be painting every few years, but if you insist then I would use Bedec 'Barn Paint'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ambrose Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 I ordered £1.5K of green oak from UK Timber https://www.uk-timber.co.uk/ during Covid, worked out OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
