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,

Hi,
There is a place called The Wood Pile on the A38 at West Huntspill
(tel 01278 788978) which advertises lots of cheap building materials.
I have wanted to visit, but never have , but see their ad in the local
free
Trade-it paper which comes out on Friday.
Might be worth a look.
Good luck
