Cheap timber for workshop shelving and a gate

[Mr_P]

My first major project was going to be my bench but thanks to my procrastinating I found a bargain that was too cheap to resist.

So now I need a load of shelves for my garage and my garden gate is on its last legs

A local firm is selling cheap scaffolding boards 9"inch x 2¼"inch x 8'ft at £8 each.

Good idea / bad idea ?

Reasonable idea but keep them away from planer blades if you plan to clean them up.
