Ideally I'd like to get a very good deal on things called "Steenschotten". As an Englishman I'd not heard of these things before (but I'm sure they're / were used in England too but haven't got a clue what they'd be called). Steenschotten are planks of wood that are bound by steel edging - come in handy rectangular sizes - originally used for drying bricks after they have been fired in the traditional brick making factories.

They have a trendy grungy look to them that the yuppies love (which can make them expensive) but from my perspective they're often 5cm or thicker - come in these handy frames - which means I can hoik them up and out if I need to get to the underside of the construction for the worse case scenario where I need to jack things level.
