I know they come up on freecycle occasionally. B&Q charge £6, can that be beaten elsewhere?

Jewsons, travis perkins or which ever builders merchants are local to you. Should be looking at £5 -£6 each depending on brand.

South Wales.

I thought you needed a trade account to do Jewsons or TP.

I lifted about 30 of these today. Do not underestimate the weight!

I know, I looked up their weight to see how many I could get in the car - they are 45kg each!

I wouldn't fancy carrying these in a car tbh anymore than a couple could easily knacker the boot.

The boot floor?

I was planning on putting a few in each footwell and a few in the boot but you're right - the boot floor's not that robust...

Shouldn't need a trade account at the major merchants. Should all take cash or card payment either in store or via telesales. Get them to deliver as they weigh approx 30kgs apiece.
