Inside or outside?

Use galvanised, coated or stainless fixings outdoors and with treated timber, so they do not corrode.

Before your Preston delivery arrives

Boxed fixings travel with the rest of your order. Preston is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
• Tell us the best drop point, such as a driveway, front garden or the kerb, and whether a lorry can park close to it.
