Planks wanted.

[aspenarb]

The deck of our low loader is fubared and we need to re plank it. The area is 40`x8` the planks can be 6" or 8" wide. They need to be 1 1/4" thick and I will need enough to cover this area plus a bit of spare for losses on the bearers. A decent hardwood or suggestions please. Preferably in the south of england.

Are they not normally a tropical hard wood such as green heart?

[aspenarb]

Keruing is the norm but being a tight wad and the fact that some our kit punches holes through the boards it wont be getting that . It does not need to be seasoned or rebated just straight forward planks.
