Shelving/Staging

That's a shame. I'm sorry that you all aren't in God's Wonderful Garden here Ooop North...(! )

(e2a: I used to live in Tottenham/Enfield in the early 1970s and Jaywick and Clacton-on-Sea in the late 1970s- wonderful days!)

 

Pallets are getting harder to source these days, FC; I know because I send Mr Mum on an expedition last year and told him not to come back empty handed

He returned, war weary, shaken and ..... empty handed!!

Seems any company that deals with them in any quantity now sends them back to suppliers for re-using (recycling). Even our builder friend is having troubles sourcing them.

My neighbour did offer to source some for us, *but* most of the ones he gets he chops down for kindling for the log fire in the restaurant his co-owns. Having said that, he chops the flimsy ones and has been very kind in giving us two strong and sturdy ones! For which I am grateful

I even posted on Freecycle - one response, weeks later suggesting I ask at a particular garden centre ... but, as I only have a little car, I'm having to wait until a friend of ours is visiting in their big vehicle.

 

if you need a lot buy two for now space apart and lay planks of wood across the gaps morrisons had them cheaper last year then any where else and at the end of the year i picked some up for 2.50 so it worth bidding your time

 

I got a whole lot of Dexion-type "mechano" and some mesh very cheap - had a search running on eBay for ages before it came up trumps, but I was then able to replace all the heath-robinson stuff in the greenhouse with something that, now, an Elephant could stand on ...
