Macrocarpa battens - Easter special for Neighbourly members
We have a nice line of macrocarpa battens in stock at the moment. These are fence battens 50x50x1200, and farm grade so may have knots, wane etc. However some are very clean and would make a great front fence or deck balustrade. Price is $1.50ea but is reduced to $1.25 for Neighbourly members.
There is also a line of very tidy 70x40 bandsawn battens for $2.90 each
Not treated so you can burn any off-cuts. Macrocarpa is a naturally durable cypress with a great smell! Pop in to our yard in Peat Street (opposite the deer park) and have a look.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
