I'll use those as a last resort if I have to, because my dad has a whole bunch up at his place that came with ground pavers that he's using to landsacpe his yard. Also, they sell the shipping crate wood to build your own shipping crates, don't they? I was watching that show "Wing Nutz" on the Discovery Channel, and they had to box up a whole bunch of oddly shaped merchandise for a couple of trade shows and for sold items to deliver to customers. They simply pulled out their own wood and made their own custom sized crates on the spot. I don't know what kind of wood it was that they used, it looked like a soft pine or something. Anyone else know?
