Dealing with problem staff that don't listen

[Mick Dempsey]

Anyone got a link to a supplier of this ‘stockboard’?

 

Sounds like good stuff.

That’s a pic supposedly showing 6mm. Does indeed look ideal if it’ll take machine weight too. Would bend round shed edges and roofs nicely.

Stokbord if that helps your Googling, Mick.

I’ve been meaning to buy plastic boards for ages. What’s thick enough to run a micro skidder on and thin enough to bend round a house corner?

Carpet?

Solway Board sounds similar to Stokbord and is cheaper.

On further investigation, their website is shit so the prices could be whatever.

Your local fencing merchant will often have Stokbord.

The price very much depends on the quantity you order as the quoted price includes transport

I lined the caged sides of my ifor tipper with stokbord, I was very impressed with the stuff, 6mm thick. I was surprised when she sheets I ordered 10ft by 5ft came rolled up 🤣 very flexible and hard-wearing stuff. Definitely suitable for track mats for smaller machines, guarding a fragile roof or rendered wall, probably better in a standard 8x4 size though.

 

To the OP, I definitely wouldn't use a pressure washer on the render, even if it doesn't take the render off the paint will probably go. Just a brush and soapy water will get the green streaks off 👍

I use stockboard 9mm thick and have ran 9 ton cherry picker on it, left slight dent in ground, have back ifor trailer over on to edge of lawn to load it with no dents left. 

It has gone up a lot in price since last year. Mcveigh and Parker were the cheapest then Mole valley, never take any notice of web prices as I have got better deals by ringing up. 

It doesn't like standing up as it is very flexible. Best way of moving it around in garden is once holes are drilled in each end and sides make a long handled hook and paint it red so it doesn't get lost.
