Or as they call it ‘Old Money’ & ‘New Money’
In the UK, timber is measured in both metric and imperial units. Our timber is sold in metric sizes, while our panels are manufactured in imperial widths* to maintain compatibility with concrete gravel boards.*Picket Fence are the only exception and measure at 1795mm wide (But can have added side battens to increase width to 1830 on request Extra cost will apply).
