    Looking to buy some timber for a project I want to start tomorrow. I'm working all day today so I won't get a chance to have a look around.

    I was at b&q last night and priced up:

    1 sheet of ply 8 x 4ft for €36.40
    40ft of 2 x 4(I think) timber for around €25
    and some angle iron at 6ft long for around €20

    Anyone know if I could get this cheaper anywhere else and somewhere that delivers maybe? I don't think b&q do!?

    Bit of a weird request but I figured someone on here would know :)

    Thanks

    Ah Jaze, don't be buying timber from B & Q.
    Would you not go into Morris or even Brooke Thomas out at Six mile cross?
    PS, what type of ply are you looking for?
    Also, PM sent

    Yeah I really only went to have a look at rough prices..

    The plan was to go to morris's but its the kinda thing where I just want to go in and get it and go home.. no looking around or anything.

    As for the ply I should have mentioned that before.. Im looking to build something like this but a bit wider..CLICK!

    So the ply's got to be strong.

    PM sent back to you there gman

    Ok. what exactly are you building - is it for internal or external?
    If it's going to be anyway exposed to the weathering, then 20mm WBP (or Marine) ply should be used, not shuttering ply.

    Edit, I see now on image title it's a skate box, but will it be an indoor or outdoor?

    You'll pay more for the marine ply, and even more if you get it in B&Q:D

    Yeah I asked a guy I work with today and he said go to DPL on Keanes Rd! They will deliver on a Saturday as well.

    I plan on covering the whole thing in some plastic when storing it.. god know with the rain we get it will be ruined :rolleyes:
