Standard tantalised crap that rots in 5 years
5ft6 3-4" stakes £1.45
7ft 3-4" stakes £2.30
Strainers £6.70
12ft 3&1/2 by 1&1/2 rails £2.80
3x5 6ft posts £3.95

Buy creosote, it may cost but it won't rot.
Find that most places are at these prices, not much between local sawmills here, and quality differs, u pay top price you can still get crap

Anyone see a couple of blokes from Worcester on Dragon's Den once. They had divised poly shrink wrapping for fencing posts, applied at the point where most posts rot off. Surprisingly they turned down several offers of investment, so they must be confident.
