Self Selection Timber Centre

Yandles is proud to offer one of the largest selections of hardwoods in the UK that is open to the public, open 7 days a week. Our world-class Self-Selection Centre features all the major hardwoods and a variety of exotic hardwood timbers.

We know that one person's fault is another person's feature, so we offer you the opportunity to browse the different grain patterns, sizes and colour variations to find the perfect piece of timber for your project. Our timbers are organized into species, allowing you to browse and identify the ideal wood for your project. If you have any questions or want help picking out the right timber for your project, our knowledgeable staff are always happy to offer advice.

All timber in the self-selection centre is planed on one face and then individually priced. VAT is included in all of our prices, so there are no nasty surprises at the till.
