I need enough to cover approx 17 square metres.. Probably just want
standard golden gravel.
Find a local supplier who will drop you a lorry load on to the site
(assuming that's appropriate for your needs) - it's likely to be a lot
cheaper that way than buying it in those 1-ton jumbo bags, which is how
most builder's merchants provide it.

You get your money back on the hire of the bag.



Not the last bag I got. One drop only - non-returnable, non-reusable.

(I think there is something to do with the integrity of the bag once it
has undergone the whole fill/deliver/use processes.)

Crap bags? We are charged 5 pounds for the hire of the bag, but it goes
back to get filled again and again. If it bursts on its way to the site,
that's their fault for handling it badly.



we used to but no more. Elfin Safety.
