Yeah...that's the sort of thing I was thinking of, old floorboards or

We just don't get the same quality of skip up here in the north!

Try a scaffolding company. We had some old scaffolding planks to make raised

Failing that, you might try your local Freecycle group if you have one.
Unless you eschew all things Yahoo, as I know some people do.
