Timber type
I have a dozen bits of 6 x 6 inch tanalised timber 6 feet long that i believe are called 'centre grain'
Is that the right description for where you can see the centre of the tree rings when you look at the end grain on the timber?
What is this type of timber normally used for? Structural applications?
It was stacked in the garden when i bought my house and i might want shot of it. as its too thick for me to use any of it for my garden.
Thanks

Ask a good price for them, as they would not be cheap to buy new. Advertise them in a farming mag.

They are not that long if you sink them 2' into the ground. New id expect to pay about £5 each or so. I usually use 8 foot 6x6 posts when i do
fencing to get a good 6' high fence that will take strong rails and boards.
