Price of pressure-treated decking and joists

[JKPK_peter]

Hello!

I'm planning to buy about 800 lpm 28x120 and about 130 lpm 45x145

What have you paid for pressure-treated wood and where did you buy it?
What have you paid for the delivery afterward?

Has anyone found it cheap in the Jönköping area?

45x145, 24.95 Byggmax
28x120, 12.99 Byggmax

Feel free to add your prices!

Built a sandbox this weekend, so I bought a few meters of 28x120 at K-rauta. Cost 14.95 if I remember correctly.

Edit: In Gothenburg.

Beijer, according to their website a few days ago: 28x120, 16.50kr
Bauhaus: 28x120, 12.95kr
Bauhaus: 28x95, 11.95kr

A constant tip is to check with a smaller local dealer, they usually "happily" match the prices of, for example, K-rauta, or perhaps be slightly higher, but then home delivery is usually included, something that I personally appreciate very much!

Best regards,

Martin

There are two ways to get away cheaply.

1: With Byggmax prices, it will be about 13,650 SEK. Offer a small builder's merchant 12 nice thousand notes straight to them when they deliver it to you.

2: Always buy everything in the same place and build a relationship with them. Loyal customers get good discounts in the long run, they avoid getting crooked timber, a box of screws that broke can come along for free, and the warranty date for tools is easily extended a few weeks if it breaks on the wrong side of the date line. It might be cheaper to always chase the best price, but it takes a heck of a lot of time to keep it up, and you always find out that you could have saved a few bucks by shopping elsewhere and regret it.

I assume you do NOT mean with any of the supermarkets then. I strongly doubt that it's possible to form any kind of relationship with any of them. Every time you go there, there's a new, uninterested, and clueless kid at the register...

Exactly, no supermarket, but at a place where the owner is personally involved in the business and cares about the customers who at least he knows are the ones who provide them their salary.

I think it's becoming difficult to find such places. The supermarkets seem to be taking over more and more. It's probably just like with the electronics chains, or we're already there .
