Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can make these out of
please? I've been using some made of old chopped up pallets which I
joined together using various metal "bits" but these have had it now
and I'd like to make something slightly more aesthetically pleasing. My
first thought was railway sleepers but these (untreated) seem
prohibitably expensive - especially delivered to Somerset. I also
thought about scaffolding planks but cannot find anywhere selling
these. Any suggestions would be most welcome. TIA,

Very familiar with gardening on clay .... on Somerset/Dorset border nr.
Yeovil. I don't know exactly where you are but a trip to your nearest
Mole Valley centre may be useful. They have very competitively priced
timber and offcuts. I built 6 which were made out of old joists when we
had an extension built some 4 years ago. You may be able to get hold of
some similar 8" X 2" from some building developers who often just pile
old timber onto a bonfire rather than go to the expense of carting it
away.

Good luck!
