Old scaffold boards make great edgers / planters / walking boards, grab those!
The short poles are good for hammering into the ground to secure palettes to make into waste bins / storage frames for canes. Longer ones (if you can get them hammered in!) with green wire strung between for all kinds of fruit / veg training up to save space :)

Well, if he's willing to give/flog enough long poles there's a sloped patch of my plot that's currently not working well that I want to construct some kind of platform over for compost/water/storage. That's probably the priority. After that DIY poly tunnel. I've been on the lookout for materials but coming up short.

Good analogy. I'm sure they're good value, maybe a touch excessive for our fairly sheltered plot. Either way, out of budget for this season, something to consider for next year maybe.
I remembered my parent's neighbor owns a scaffolding company. I've put in a cheeky request for any castoffs he has, though not sure if that's really a thing.
