Timber Prices: B&Q CLS drops 38p

[shawesome]

Hi all,

Just something I noticed and thought I'd share:

- Current price £4.60: Round edge Whitewood C16 CLS timber (L)2.4m (W)63mm (T)38mm | DIY at B&Q
- Price last week £4.98: Round edge Whitewood C16 CLS timber (L)2.4m (W)63mm (T)38mm | DIY at B&Q

The only other thing I checked there was MDF, and that hasn't changed it's price.

This is hopefully a good sign.
Interestingly Arnold Lavers rang me the other day, " just to see if I needed anything" and to offer me a discount if I order something in January.
I hope this means the supply is catching up with the demand and prices will drop in general. Probably not by as much as they should but some.

I am looking for cls at the moment to frame an old steading for my workshop. All my local timber merchants prices are mad. Wickes is the cheapest here by far at £4-50 for a 2.4m length (havent tried b@q) The timber merchants are around £3-00/£3-50 per METRE plus VAT. Problem is looking for 3metre lengths or longer as its a taller building. WIll probably look further south and see what the prices are although the delivery put the price up a bit. The prices in Inverness have jumped hugely in the last year.

Just checked wickes online and they have 3m lengths for £6-25 for 38x63 and £10-45 for 38x89. Band Q seem to only do 2.4m
