If you live in Bognor Regis or anywhere nearby—Chichester, Littlehampton, even Arundel—you should know about this place. It’s on the Shripney Road area, easy to find, and has parking that doesn’t require a Master’s in parallel parking. Yes, that matters.
What I love most is the mix of customers. You’ll see professional builders loading up vans with massive sheets of plywood, right next to someone buying a single piece of oak for a shelf. Nobody judges. The staff are equally patient with both, which is rarer than a sunny day in West Sussex.

Another thing? Their delivery service is surprisingly slick. I’m not saying you should skip the trip—half the fun is poking around the timber stacks—but if you order online, the stuff arrives quickly. It’s the kind of reliability that makes you trust a merchant forever.
A little irony, because why not
You know what’s funny? I went in expecting to buy wood, but I left with confidence. And a few extra fixings I definitely didn’t need, but they were on sale.
Seriously, if you’re planning a project—whether it’s a birdhouse or a deck—do yourself a favour. Skip the big-box DIY store where you’ll spend half an hour hunting for a bored assistant. Go to Covers Timber & Builders Merchants in Bognor Regis. You’ll get proper advice, decent prices, and maybe—just maybe—a friendly joke about your leaky shed roof.
My roof is solid now, by the way. And I even fixed a wobbly fence panel while I was at it. All thanks to a Saturday morning coffee that went cold and a shop that actually cares. You should pop in—you might leave with more than you bargained for.
