Alternate to deck boards for playhouse?

[Mark M]

I’m building a playhouse for the kids and I had planned to use decking boards for the floors but struggling to find stock. Wickes has some but can’t click and collect as they are at capacity.

Is there anything else I can use? The span is 1400x1400mm and I was planning on putting 2 brace supports underneath to support the weight.

I’ve got plenty of fence boards but they are only 16mm thick so not sure if they will be strong enough.

Thanks.

18/22mm Ply? A single sheet would cover the whole area and you could sand it so its nice and smooth.

22mm tongue and groove chipboard flooring

Chipboard might not be the best outside. Marine Ply would hold up better, particularly with some wood preserver.

Try Wickes again early tomorrow, their click and collect is very hit and miss for slots.

Try a local timber merchant. Wickes' approach to click n collect is a shambles. I know they're traditional bricks n mortar type store, but online ordering (and pickup) from them is like 10 years ago or worse.
