went to the grand designes exp at london in may, they were selling these wood garden buildings (kit form and they erect). They looked smart for sure but the prices. No way there was more than £5k of timber in them. Chatting to the salesbird and they sold loads of them, fully booked for next 18 months.

There is a local firm that brings in container loads of French oak. Alot better value than English grown stuff. Before COVID I bought a load of 4in square oak fenceposts for about a tenner each
