C16 or C24?

C24 is stronger and stiffer, so it can span further or use a smaller section. Span tables and your structural drawings decide which grade and size you need.

Timber is delivered in packs or bundles on a flatbed; long lengths need clear access along the drop point. Newquay is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Give us the full postcode for the drop point; deliveries around TR7 are priced to the exact address.
• On busy streets in Newquay, a parking suspension or a quiet time slot can make offloading safer, so tell us about local restrictions you know of.
