Does anyone have any planks of decking board that they no longer need, preferably unstained. We need some for the front of some planting troughs that we want to make for the Safe, a family support charity in Basingstoke. In all we will need 6 bits of lengths 30.5" and 3 of lengths 64.5".

The planters are to go on the ledges in front of our building.
