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.
