Hi,

I need to get lots of stuff for the garden but don't have a car. I
need:
* a shed
* trellis's (and supporting posts)
* paving stones
* cement
* decking
* weed matting
* lots of gravel

Does anyone know of a good place to get these online which will
deliver?

Thanks,
Ruth

Sounds like you need a local Garden Centre or Builders Merchant both of
which will be in your local Phone Book.

Unless you are about 20 miles away from your nearest town, there are
alternative to on-line.

Builders merchants will usually deliver anything from half a tonne
upwards. That would certainly get the gravel, paving stones and cement
sorted.

then find a timber merchant type place that does fencing, and they'll
deliver all the wood stuff.

I would have thought the cost of national delivery would be
prohibitive, except in very large volumes.

In this small town we have two local suppliers - Branch Bros and
Fenland - who will deliver in the town, and most of your material could
be had from a branch of Travis Perkins the builders mechants who
deliver from nearly every depot (get a trade card from them - then they
deliver FOC). Just outside town is the Waterside garden centre which
will also deliver, and only slightly further away the remarkable
Rassels nursery.

I can't believe we are unique in this regard. Almost all local traders
will have a large proportion of the customer base who don't have
transport.

If your problem is getting there to place an order, that might require
slightly more work - but I have found that a phone call will elicit
most services. Local traders have a lot to do to stay in business
these days, and are well aware of it.
