Pallet Timber
I have about .75 mtr of timber which I have disassembled from pallets for a project which is no longer going ahead.
I was going to use them as cladding for a shed as the timber is particularly suitable for outdoor use. See below.
I am using my wife's account to post this.
They are North American white cedar, which according to this site www.srs.fs.usda.gov... is both termite and rot resistant. "The rot- and termite-resistant wood is used principally for products in contact with water and soil."
Being American, they are in inches so the size is 40 inches long by 3 1/2 inches wide by 1/2 inch thick. That converts to approx 1016 mm (just over 1 metre) x 90 mm x 12.5 mm.
Some of the ends have split around the nail holes, but I think I kept the best ones. Could be ideal for outdoor furniture or planter boxes.

Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
