Much less than that for new softwood (ie not genuine reclaimed)
I (average to weak mid 30s male) could carry the 200mm x 100mm x 2.4m ones through the house and up some stairs no problem on my own. Google suggests that type and size are around 30kg.
Advantage of new over reclaimed is that they aren't saturated with decades worth of diesel spills as well as whatever now-illegal chemicals they were originally treated with. Probably rot quicker as a result though
