I would say your local timber yard as price variations are usually negated with transport costs. Just look in the yellow pages under timber merchants and call round the local ones.
DOVEScot where would you say the cheapest place for timber would be
I use both Jewson and MKM as I get good deals through my account and using them a lot, they are merchants so will profit and loss products, they may give great deals on some things to keep you sweet and get you on other things to balance it up. Also look for deals or special offers if you can, Wicks have great deals from time to time
I always make pillars from concrete blocks and use 4x2 timbers accross them then sit the floor on top. They are always high enough of the ground to allow the dogs to get underneath that way nothing can live under the loft, mice, rats etc.
we do the same as phil,, what we do is build breeze block pillers and then buy railway sleepers.. the loft sits on them.. the sleepers are normally 8ft,, so the loft is 6ft and then we add a 3ft aviery to it.We do need some small timber to support the end of the aviery.. . the railway sleepers will last forever and don't cost the earth.. I think we paid �9 each for ours,, but a bit more now I expect..
this loft is on 5 railway sleepers.. been there for 6 years and many more we hope..You can see the thickness of the sleeper behind the well and wheel barrow..
