anyone purchased CCA treated timbers in sa area? we are barossa valley based and wondering if anyone has any contacts or places that supply ive found a quite a few online but all are interstate (mainly qld) im guessing B#$#ings dont have them (or didnt seem to last time i looked) as their sleepers were 16 bucks each way to cheap for cca treated so if anyone knows of anywhere around the sa area that has this type of sleeper a link or contact would be appreciated ps we are now up top lock up stage so hopefully come end of sept we're in! thanks guys and girls Re: CCA treated pine 'sleepers' in SA 2Jun 26, 2012 12:56 pm seriously 16 views? maybe i should of put 'sleepers' in the title Re: CCA treated pine SLEEPERS in SA 3Jun 28, 2012 4:35 pm Have you tried calling your local timber merchants?
