Hi

How soon are you wanting the butts and what is your budget?

Who did the risk assessment and spec for this project?

 

If I was you I'd read and take in BS EN 1176 and BS EN 1177 then either walk away from the project, or insist that it changes.

 

Beech is not going to be fit for purpose, and only allowing 1,000mm in the ground with 7,800mm above is just a joke. If you supply this timber, or are part of the erection team and it goes tits up in years to come, which it will, you could have alot to loose.

 

If you still want to pursue the project, insist on using Robinia, and insist that the project company engage the services of an architect who knows what they they are talking about. Also check and have in writing any and all liabilities.

sound advice, nice to read on here some one with good specialist knowlage on this subject

Thanks for your comments but you are telling me what I already know, after 30 years in the business I know a little bit about what timber does what and I have already expressed my concerns in a slightly more diplomatic way rather than insisiting they alter the spec.

 

I seriously believe if I go back to my client who is a major landscape contractor whom I have worked for over a 15 year period and insist they go back to their client who is a local authority and insist they alter their spec because I am not happy with it I will not be working for them for much longer. In this instance I am just carrying out the work previously specified by an architect and approved by the LPA. It is not up to me at this stage to check what their liabilities are.

 

I appreciate your comments but it is above and beyond my involvement in this particular project.

They want the butts ASAP. Are you asking because you have some? if you have a price in mind PM me and I will pass it on. Think of a figure and they will either say yes or no.

hi

we dont have any at the moment as all the trees we have already are stripped out ready for the sawmill.

If you can wait next week i can give you a better idea of the price and avalibility of the butts.
