Re: garden timber arbour

@Handynot  are you asking how much it costs to have the cuts done by Bunnings or the costs for the whole project? First cut per piece is free on timber, each addition cut I believe is $1. It's possibly 50 cents but I'd have to check when I'm back at work.

If you are after a costing for the whole project, please list your materials and I can work it out from www.bunnings.com.au for you

@Jason  I've included a price for x2 600mm wide lattice, the material list calls of x1. From the video it appears they are using two.

DIY timber Garden arbour

I am wanting to build the same arbour as seen on the Bunnings DIY Video. I've got most of it down except the actual dimensions

ie height, width and dims of all pieces. it looks exactly what I am after and just want to make sure before moving ahead. I know these can be a bit of a "moving feast" however this appears to fit perfectly. The video is good except it does not quite provide the detail on some parts of the build. The construction list seems not to cover all the timber required hence need the detail. Can anyone help a newbie??? tks GM
