...a single plank costs 70 quid and I have no car at the moment and timber merchants don't typically deliver wood to your door

I recently purchased a single OSB board & the local. Wickes branch delivered it for about a fiver. Delivery service was new to me. Whether they will have the length/type of wood you're after is another matter but worth knowing.

I checked Wickes but the longest plank they do on their website is 2.4m.

I do think I was wrong about the 70 quid thing though, since I was looking at C24 grade wood (thinking that meant "two by four", but no it's a treatment standard...) and C16 wood is much cheaper and still structurally sound. Still, nothing at 6m.
