Sweet chestnut is a great tree, often coppice grown, nice and straight and the bark peels off extremely well. It's very rot-resistant, but the high tannin content eats ordinary steel hardware so use stainless steel instead.

If you feel confidant in felling the trees yourself you can pay less than £10 per ton from a coppice owner.
