Posts for a Pole shed!?

[juleshartley]

Hi All,
I'm trying to build a pretty hefty log store (approx 9m long x 4m wide x 2.5-3m high). The idea was to use ex telegraph poles for 6 uprights then add rafters, purlins and box section for roof then feather-edge the back and sides, leaving the front open.

The problem that i'm having is that I can't get hold of any telegraph poles! I also think that they may be overdoing it for the job in hand and probably 6" x 4m posts would do the trick... however, I can't track these down either!

I'm in South Wales - has anyone got any tips / advice?

Thanks in advance

Well, that sort of scuppers your plans... lol

What about at a wood yard, do you have any liumber merchants etc in your area?
They will do posts for fences etc.

Think I've managed to track some down... company called 'Barretts'. Phew!
