How much.a bay, fencing.

[Steven P]

Just for my info, is there a difference if a householder burns treated timber in the garden? I am not sure, but plenty of people do

I know people do it all the time  but isn't it  illegal to burn treated timber on a bonfire?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Chromated Copper arsenate was banned for fencing around 2005, I advised the local open space owner (a private charity) against using it a couple of years before. Now the stakes are failing they are replacing them with chestnut ones but leaving the broken treated ones lying alongside. I again advised that they should be removed and disposed as "special " waste, they are all still there. Having cut softwood stakes for a treatment plant when tanalising was the norm, and watched while unseasoned stobs were pushed into the pressure vessel I am not at all surprised that they break early.

 

I would not burn them as the chromium reverts to the hexavalent form whereas I am quite sanguine about burning creosoted stakes.

Gloucestershire- £300 a bay but that’s tackling anything we come across in the prep/removal. That’s good money as we have the kit to make it quick - 3t grab, compressor etc
