Hi,
I'm wanting to knock together some French cleats for my garage.
Does anyone know of any national diy/joinery type store that would sell me the wood and do the angled cuts required?
Cheers,
No ideas then?
Any number of places will sell you the wood...
Some timber supply places will machine wood for you, but there's usually a set-up charge, and / or a 'per m' charge.
Huws-Gray did ~60 metres of architrave for me to match an existing pattern a few years ago (Llandudno Jn, but they have branches throughout the NW). IIRC, the set-up charge was £60, then they would run as much as you wanted for the cost of the wood. There will be similar elsewhere.
I can't believe it would be cheaper than buying a circular saw or a plane (or even a handsaw) and knocking the corner off some PAR yourself unless you have an enormous garage.
What are you going to hang off them?
Stand on pedals, shrug shoulders to clip-in?
Does it need to be a national chain? That'd be more of a job for a local timber yard or DIY store.
could you do it with some chamfer edge skirting in 25mm thickness. Go to a timber merchants and explain what you want to do, they should try to help, it's a sale to them if they get it right.
Another option is aluminium split batten extrusion.
I thought this was a euphemism!
Any local joiner with a table saw big enough for full sheets could rip it easily. Take a few minutes - £30?
If you can't get the sheets to them, then you could get them cut down to double width at the timber merchant, then do the angled cut at the joiners.
I was going to use 18mm birch ply, but it doesn't necessarily have to be as posh as that.
