    Question Hi from Canberra

    My name is Mick and I live in the ACT. I'm building an aeroplane in my garage: a single-seat wood and fabric design called the Fly Baby. I'm also looking for a supplier of reclaimed timber for a pergola project.

    Welcome to the forum Mick,

    What sort of timber do you want to build the deck out of?

    Hi Mick, welcome to forums. One commercial supplier of recycled timber in Canberra is Thors hammer, but they are not cheap. http://www.thors.com.au/

    Mick

    Welcome. Sounds like a great project, building a plane.

    In terms of recycled timber, Ilya's right, Thor's hammer is the best place to go. Not cheap, but good timber. I built my new deck from recycled spotted gum. Looks great, I'm really happy with it.
