Title: Black polythene sheeting - cheapest place?
Post by: posie on August 20, 2007, 16:06:02
I have a huge amount of ground to cover in next few weeks and I was wondering if anyone knows somewhere in the South Wales area (I live close to Cardiff) that does this sheeting reasonably cheaply.  I've seached local diy stores and it seems v expensive, can you get this stuff from builders merchants?   ???

That looks like a good site Sparkly. Did you just get the cheapest one?

Yeah. It worked out at just under £50 for 30x4 metres. It's not as thick as would like, but I think it will do the job. Overall I would say it is good value and the delivery was good. It comes doubled over in a roll so the roll is 2m in length. That was good as I was worried about actually getting it to the allotment, but it fits fine in a car.
