How delivery works in Auchterarder

Boards are heavy and fragile at the edges; they travel flat and are best stored flat and dry. Auchterarder is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• In summer Auchterarder gets around 17h 42m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.
• If neighbours share the access, it helps to let them know a lorry is coming.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
