you need treated
the max i suspect will be 3m or 118" in the sheds
in a wood yard you can get many many differtent lengths not just the 2 or 3 in the sheds allowing better use with less waste

google or even use old fashioned yellow pages and search.

fencing suppliers
timber merchants
or sawmills

diy stores are generally ****e useless for that kind of stuff and they over charge for it too.

good luck
