FENCING PRICES

trying to help a horsey friend with fencing....done it before..and it was reasonable price......but recently prices can only be described as obscene...wondering if a trade account status would help and what sort of discount would apply

Timber prices have rocketed since the first lockdown. I went to pick up a sheet of OSB and thought they were charging me for 2, they used to be about £22 a sheet now they're £40.

I'm not sure about local merchants, worth a try, but you can get a Wickes Trade card which gets you 10% off.

Play one off against the other

I always email and let them know I've been quoted x amount from another supplier, but we have quite a few local timber merchants
Probably one of the few resources we are well off for

There right, timber prices have gone through the roof.

Treated timber i was paying £1.50/m early this year I'm now paying £4/m for, and I go through 100's of meters of the stuff

Someone told me that there are huge baulks of timber on the quay at Shoreham harbour being released slowly so as to make the most of good prices and that ships heading from the Baltic to the UK are being diverted to the US after being offered more money by the Yanks.

5' x 6" half-round fence-posts have rocketed to £2 here.
