I am in need of 15 hardwood untreated sleepers 200x50. Preferably ones that are a bit more resistant to termites. They are being used as decking boards for my front porch.
PM with a price if you can supply them.
I'm at Molendinar on the Gold Coast.
Cheers,
Paul

Are you sure you want sleepers instead of decking? Sleepers are much cheaper but for good reason. We can supply both but we're in Toowoomba

They need to match what is already there otherwise I will have to replace the whole deck, about 20m2.

Is the existing deck sleeper grade or decking grade?

They're sleeper grade. I dressed the top edges & put some grooves in the under side to reduce cupping.
I'll post a photo tomorrow to show what it looks like against the house.

Here's the photo.

The sub frame is H4 treated pine on metal stirrups so that part is fine.

I can't see much detail from that distance. It's a nice looking house though

this photo shows more detail. Sorry about the photos but they were taken of the car, the deck just happens to be in them.

They don't look too bad, not building grade but not awful.

Try a sawmill

Gday mate, give me a yell on 0401 226 804. i've got a stack of 200x50 that'd do you nicely.
