Recycled plastic wood-substitute

Also used near Grange at the south end of Derwentwater for a walkway. The National Trust were responsible for the walk - so ringing up the local office might produce the supplier's name.

Might be similar to the composite decking on the market.

My local DIY shop sells their stuff so it should be easy to get hold of.

Sigh?

Looking at the website referenced by Chris it seems incredibly heavy stuff compared to wood. I also wonder about UV stability. If I can get around to it I'll call them to ask, it may be useful for me since I want to make some walkways in Italy in particular leading down into the woods at the extremity of my land which have large boggy areas between trees.

We've used this

The volunteers are constructing a fresh piece alongside a canal and this has been obtained from a cheaper manufacturer whose name isn't to hand.

Excellent! Not sure why I didn't think of a search that would turn that up, but so it goes.

Thanks to everyone else for their responses too.
