Most garden centres have them or can get them, but they are not cheap anymore. Might be cheaper to get something from your local timber merchant.

Are you strengthening your dining room floor now then robert?

I bought mine from Osborns in Newport Pagnell not real but injected pressure treated replicas @ £16 each - real ones are double that!

We've got some conductive ones in our compound (seriously, conductive wood). Not sure I can get rid of them though. How many are you after, I could ask?
