About this lot

Genuine reclaimed scaffold boards with banded ends. Perfect for shelving, cladding, garden furniture and rustic decking. Located in Manchester — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Listed 10 days ago by Manchester Greenfield Contractors, a contractor based in Manchester.

Every lot here was once destined for waste transfer — listing it instead keeps first-quality material in circulation at well below merchant list. As new surplus it is indistinguishable from merchant stock except for the price.

Condition report & known defects

10/10
  • Stored under cover since delivery; no weather exposure.
  • Grade stamps visible on every length; a handful show fork-tine bruising at one end.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Reusing this material saves roughly 77 kg CO₂e versus felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

That's equivalent to about 454 km of average petrol-car driving, or what 4 mature trees absorb in a year.

Reuse is the single fastest way to cut a build's embodied carbon — substitution beats offsetting every time.

Collection & delivery

  • Collection from the seller's Manchester premises — telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Regional pallet delivery can be arranged from £80 depending on postcode and lead time.
  • Inspection before purchase is encouraged — bring a tape and check sample units against the measurements above.

Typical applications

  • Formwork, hoarding and site protection
  • Garden structures, raised beds and decking
  • Structural joists, rafters and studwork (graded stock)
  • Feature cladding, shelving and furniture (reclaimed boards)

Questions about this lot

Is this timber structurally graded?+

Where the listing states a grade (C16/C24) the stamp is on the timber. Reclaimed boards from Manchester Greenfield Contractors are sold for non-structural use unless re-graded by an inspector.

Will reclaimed boards have nails in them?+

The seller has metal-detected the stock; expect the odd missed fixing — budget 1 saw blades for a lot this size and check with a detector before machining.

How should I store it before use?+

Keep it stick-stacked, off the ground and under cover, and let it acclimatise on site for 7–14 days before fixing internally.
