Scaffold Boards & Woodchips

 
A long day and lunch (TESCO meal deal) on the allotment, as I needed to get ready to receive 24 number 1.2m Scaffold Boards, 24 Number 0.9m scaffold boards and 8 number 2.4m scaffold boards in order to create 6 New raised beds on plot 1 and extend two Narrow beds on the boundary of plot 1 and plot 1A.

I cleared the last of the 1.2m (4ft) boards and square flower buckets that were stacked behind the Algold raspberries in the boundary beds and laying out two 0.9m (3ft) boards on bricks for air flow to stack the new boards on when they arrived, My delivery window being between 1pm and 2pm.

The transit van backed into the car park and then through our metal gates right up to the entrance to my plot and Paul the driver, plot neighbour Wally and myself unloaded and stacked the scaffold boards, on the elevated boards just behind the boundary beds in front of the Potting Shed.

I was pleasantly surprised with the quality and cleanness of the boards, as requested the 1.2m (4ft) and 0.9m (3ft) boards were cut square and didn't have metal end bands. There are end bands on one end of the 2.4m (8ft) boards which I will remove with a hammer and chisel as I need to fix the narrow end boards into the 2.4m (8ft) boards.

We laid 4 number 2.4m (8ft) boards across the top of the piles and laid another 4 in front of the Potting shed, these were later carried up to the narrow beds on the boundary between plots 1 & 1A

As can be seem not too many boards with splits and no metal end bands, and they are cut square to the length of the board so I will give them a five star Trustpilot rating and would highly recommend them.

9am to 5pm Monday to Friday

Branchwalkers Tree Surgery from Brighton phoned and asked if we would like some woodchip dumped, as they are only working 5 minutes away from the allotment. I told them yes as long as they could drop off by 3:30 as it's starting to get dark these days and that's my leaving time to go home.

Branchwalkers Tree Surgery from Brighton, came dropped off the load and were gone in a matter of minutes and we have some really good path quality woodchip. All in all a really good day on the plot & allotment today.
