**LAST OPPORTUNITY FOR RECYCLED WOOD**

For all of you that would like to get hands on the last remaining stock of wood from SWRP, this has all been stored at Bursledon Brickworks, and is available for donations to museum funds.

Stock up now before it is all gone! This all needs to be cleared by the end of October...

Still remaining:
- Long lengths of timber, from 2x1 batten to 4x4 posts
- Masses of denailed pallet wood in 2.4m lengths
- Sheet Material
- Loads of pallets
- Other random items

How to get it:
- visit the Brickworks when they are open: Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday 11-3
- Entrance is on Swanwick Lane. Please use SO31 7HB for your satnav
- report to the main reception upon arrival

⚠️🚨 thank you for all the interest. We only have 2 scaffold planks left now, but plenty of other timber📢
We have wood we would love to share.🪵
We have all sorts of timber lengths, including pallets and scaffolding boards. These items are available for a donation towards museum funds. As a guide, scaffold planks are a minimum donation of £10 each.💷
Feel free to email [email protected] with any questions or pop down to the main reception Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday 11-3, until Thursday 23rd October 2025.
Please come and talk to us before loading up your car!🚗
Bring a saw if you might need to cut anything into shorter lengths. 🪚

We are sad to announce that, following 12 years of helping people get back into work 👫, saving wood from going to waste 🚛, and providing affordable timber 🪚 to the local community, we have ceased trading. 😞

This means that the wood yard is currently closed; however do keep an eye on facebook for a possible clearance sale in the future.

Do any of you recognise the photo below...?

We've got loads of this paint that we'd like to see gone before our big move. The tins are 5 litres each (over a gallon in old money) and we'd like £5 each. Sold as seen, caveat emptor!

A lucky customer managed to buy some super ash and mahogany from our shop in Woolston, and created this paddle. We don't often get quality hardwood in - snap it up if you see it!

**MOVE UPDATE and a Discount Code**

You may have heard that we are on the move... the good news is we have found somewhere to move to and are currently finalising paperwork. We should be able to publish the location shortly - but it is not too far away from where we are now. "Watch this space" as they say!

One of the exciting journeys we have been on over the past eight years is our workshop, from humble beginnings, to the heights of the Covid period when we were dispatching up to 100 products per day. Those that worked and volunteered during that time will remember fondly our amazing Unit Y1 production facility.

But in the face of a changing business climate and the increased costs of running a legally compliant workshop, we are going to suspend our workshop operations for the foreseeable future. We may revisit this offering, possibly in a different format, but for now are going to take a pause.

The workshop is still running, and there is still time to place orders though.

The last date for workshop orders is Saturday 8th February.

And as a special bonus, if you come IN PERSON to our shop in Woolston you can get a 10% discount on workshop orders by quoting code FBWORKFEB2510.

-- Note that throughout our move and relocation process, our timber sales and wood waste collection services will continue to operate as normal --

Well folks its way too late to order a table in time for Christmas... but all is not lost! We have quite a good selection of table tops in stock ranging from a cosy four-seater size to a whopping 3.5m long. So if you find yourselves with unexpected guests, or you just fancy a little more elbow-room, message us for sizes and prices, or drop in and have a look.

WE ARE MOVING! in Jan/Feb next year, we will be relocating the wood yard to a new home ... more details of new location will come in the New Year...

How can you help us? We have a large stock of timber at the moment, and we don't want to have to move it all. So as a loyal customer of ours, if you use discount code FBDEC2450 before Christmas 2024 then you will receive 50% off all softwood timber and sheet materials*.

Yes, that is 50% OFF SOFTWOOD TIMBER AND SHEET MATERIALS with the FBDEC2450 discount code!

This will help us to reduce the amount of stock that we have to move to a new location, and it also gives you a great opportunity to stock up on wood for projects.

We're open Mon-Fri 9-5 and Sat 9-2.
