Sometime within the next year, I’ll have someone build a teak gazebo at my house.  My plan is to have it a little over 6 feet off the ground. It’s been 17 years since I had my teak house built, with 21 teak logs for support.  Fortunately, I only need 4 of them this time.  Last time, I drove around with a Thai friend in areas that she recommended, until we found teak logs sitting around.  Since I only have 2 weeks at the most to find them, does anyone know of someone selling teak logs?  Any information would be appreciated.

Your post title would indicate to some of us, me, that you are selling the product you want to buy.

No, I’m definitely a buyer

 

I've edited the topic title to make it clearer that you are a buyer. I thought you were selling too.

As you know, since 1986 when the teak logging ban was put in place it became harder to move wood around without a permit stipulating it was pre 1986 teak house wood. Most wasn't and still isn't. If I was you I would buy old logs/timbers from a timber yard as close to your residence as possible and have the seller deliver it and have the holes dug and the logs/timbers in place as soon as possible. I would also request a 'receipt' of some kind. I built a teak house 30 years ago and considered selling the wood last year and found no market due to the inability of obtaining a permit, which never was a problem in the 'good old days'.
