secret of buying dry C24…

Well, I suspect that the need for several km of timber aids discussion. 

So I suggest the strategy is thus.

Meet the rep. Insist on a walk round the premises. Ask how they keep the timber dry.

 

Then either buy lots, straight from the docks, still wrapped, but you need your own cover. OR the BM has to keep it under cover for you.

This means you need to supply a programme of timber requirements including lengths.

 

If it is standard spec in 4.8m lengths this is a fast mover at the BM so they have no risk. Our 10 x 2 in 6m lengths, had  been hanging around.
