Contact sellerHow buying works

Condition grade 9/10 (New surplus). Assessed by the seller at listing; figures below relate to this specific lot of 50 boards.

About this lot

Genuine reclaimed scaffold boards with banded ends. Perfect for shelving, cladding, garden furniture and rustic decking. Located in Sheffield — collection or arranged regional delivery available. Direct from Sheffield Greenfield Contractors, a contractor operating out of Sheffield; live for 18 days.

This is exactly the kind of material that typically ends up in a skip costing the seller money; buying it diverts it back into a build. This is unused, current-spec material — the only thing second-hand about it is the price tag logic.

Condition report & known defects

9/10
  • Unused stock — original banding/packaging intact where stated.
  • Minor pallet-edge scuffs to outer packaging only.

Carbon & sustainability notes

Choosing this lot over new product avoids an estimated 77 kg CO₂e — benchmarked against felling, milling and kiln-drying virgin softwood (~0.45 kg CO₂e per kg of new timber).

For scale: roughly 454 km in a typical petrol car, or a year's absorption for 4 established trees.

With Part Z and embodied-carbon reporting moving up the agenda, documented reuse like this is increasingly worth recording in your project's carbon log.

Collection & delivery

  • Buyer collection in Sheffield; telehandler on site, HGV access fine.
  • Nationwide pallet courier available — typically £75–£130 per pallet, 2–4 working days.
  • Viewings welcomed by appointment; the measurements table above reflects what was checked at listing.

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 Sheffield 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.
