    Thought this issue may have created a bit of discussion!

    On principle, I can manage with a few mm loss here and there. What annoys me is that it wasn't just one plank, but several and it wasn't a consistent loss the full length of the board. I also think if the manufacturer is claiming 29 cm it has to be a bit closer than what I got.

    The guy I was served buy measured my last purchase as I explained the last two were slightly short so someone who works there is aware of the issue for the future. I will, however, be taking a tape measure with me in future. . .

    When it comes to buying crap, unfortunately, when you need timber quickly and cheaply, Bunnings is a suitable place of purchase. Haven't tried Masters yet but might see if they have more accurate sized pine or if they purchase from a different supplier. I certainly wasn't going to spend a lot of funds finding accurately sized timber for a Dog High Jump for our local agricultural show . . .

    Thanks for all the responses, though. Thought for a while there it was just an imaginary removal of millimetres. . . .

    We don't all live in the big smoke, some of us have no other choice that Bunnies, Masters and Mitre10
