Timber Purlin Suppliers

[newhollandfarmer]

Hello. I was wondering if anyone knows of any good Timber Purlin suppliers? I have been quoted from £17.20 all the way up to £26.50 for 15ft 7x3 inch (Treated)
I bought some from Timberlink in Ternhill a few weeks ago for £19.00 and the cheeky bugger tried to charge me £24.50 last week for the same thing, blaming the massive rise on inflation...so goes without saying he isn't going to get another penny from me..

Thanks in advance

i was talking to a local roof truss maker last week and he said that timber is in short supply
there are thousands of cubes of softwood going to canada instead of here from norway and sweden
recons his costs have gone up 25% minimum

I have been quoted today for:
8x3 3.6m long £23.00.
6x3 3.6m long £17.64.
This is 15% up from 2018 when I last did some roof repairs.

The trusses I had a quote of £2850 in January have just been ordered this week from the same company and are £3980. So things have gone up bloody quick

How many do you need

I’ve heard timber will be up nearly 100% on what it was mid summer by April 21. That will make fence posts expensive.

200 in total

6x3 s are in short supply in Ireland to. Nearly as cheap to use steel purloins now

 

[Pinnfield]

Briarwood normally good

And within Stewardship capital grants scheme zero allowance for inflation over the 5 years!
