I just called a local HD to get a price on PT landscaping timbers, I was told $4.xx, the 4x4s (PT) are $8.xx. I guess the timbers are a little more costly here... I also asked about the solid 4x8x16 concrete blocks I've been laying my timbers on (I'm now out of blocks), these run about $1 a piece.Kirk22 said:Wet1 said:The 4"x4" I've been using aren't PT, but they've been free. If I have to pay for them, I'll certainly use PT. What do the landscaping timbers cost these days?Todd said:I use treated 8' lanscaping timbers. They are a tad smaller than 4x4's but much cheaper. I've also used pallets but sometimes they don't hold up if you have a heavy wood like oak. If part of the pallet breaks the whole stack comes down.
In my neck of the woods PT 4x4x8' are about $7-$8 each. The PT landscape timbers are $1.77 -$2. They are only about 3x4" though. I had no idea they were that cheap until after I bought a bunch of 4x4s for wood racks. :-S
Catskill said:2x4x12 PT wood with 5' metal fence posts on each end. Each pile comes out to be about 12' long and about 4' high. I brace the ends and middle of the 2x4's with 7" sections of 2x4 so that in the end I have a rectangle box (or frame if you will) 12'x7".
