Have you been to your builder's merchants to see what aggregates/finishes
they have in the 1 Tonne bags?

Must be cheaper and delivered too ;-))

Hi.

No, I've just looked at what B&Q are offering.


Something else you must consider is the medium you are putting down or it
will end up a cat's toilet. The vermin from miles around will descend on
your lovely finish area.

Pea Gravel is their favourite :-(( Use 20 mm gravel at least

Mike's right, use larger pebbles or stones to reduce the problem and a
builders merchants will always be cheaper than a DIY shed. The plastic
membrane needs to be porous.
