Green Oak Prices

[Triassic]

I’ve just been informed by the timber frame company that green oak prices have risen significantly, in our case by an extra £1,900. Thought I’m bring this to readers attention, just in case you were considering using green oak in your design. 

 

I’m assuming this information is correct? If anyone has any suggestions for cost effective sources of green oak or green oak trusses, please let me know.

Top bloke! Did our trusses, best prices by far.

Not for whole frames but there are several places online (inc ebay) you can use to compare pricing for standard size beams.  I'd always go visit the place and pick out what you want though.

 

Says £29/cubic foot here..

£28/cfm here from a reclamation yard..

Ebay seems to be nearer £35/cubic foot for a 200x200x3m beam I looked at

 

List prices elsewhere £50-60 but haggle.

Plus 1 on this recommendation - we dealt with Luke and he too is a top bloke - they designed, built and erected our oak framed car port and porch.
