pete_l Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Well, I expect Wickes sell it. Possibly Travis Perkins, too. You can also try all your local timber yards to see what they have on offer.Alternatively, how about painting the OSB? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8kids Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 Why not B&Q. As suggested Travis Perkins will have it, as will Wickes and B&Q. Don't forget to treat it front and back and buy the thickest you can afford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laser_jock99 Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I covered the visible sides of my obsy with 'waney edge' pine boards' from a local timber merchant. They were about £5 each for a 3m length but I didn't need that many ase they are over a foot wide and already pressure treated. Just needed a coat of quality red stain to colour them (never use that awfull acrylic 'wood treatment'- use a proper penetrating finish).Waney Edge Pine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesF Posted June 14, 2012 Share Posted June 14, 2012 I'd vote for a timber merchant, too, but I've no idea if they're the sort of businesses you get in towns and cities.Alternatively, nip to B&Q and get a roll of lining paper and whilst she's out, wrap it around the obsy and paint "Adidas" on the side James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gina Posted June 15, 2012 Share Posted June 15, 2012 I DON'T recommend Wickes! (or other DIY stores for timber). Use a local timber merchant - much cheaper and much better. I got very nearly all my timber, including cladding from our local merchants - good quality and a lot cheaper. That is the "real deal" to quote a certain antiques TV programme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
