Yeah...that's the sort of thing I was thinking of, old floorboards or
similar, but I guess if they're not rotten, they don't throw them out.
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
beds; they can't use them when they start to get rotten for obvious safety
reasons!

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.

Thanks for all your replies...I will try and get in touch with some
scaffold firms...Ta!
