    Never had to buy them, kept loads from previous deliveries.

    Go down your local builder's merchants and scrounge some, they're usually happy to get shot of em.

    i norm get some free from builders etc too  ... i know but after a while they get ruined, a bit of rain etc and they weigh double lol ok could try that cheers

    How come you dont use a trailer? I cant imagine being able to run a succesful maintenance/landscaping business without one.

    no id rather not have the hastle, u dont need a trailer its an extra worry and expense and another waiting to go wrong.... seen it all before!

    We buy ours in 20's.

     

    Try here : http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&...

     

    There are a couple of other traders that regularly advertise them at a good price.

    We go thru them. You can buy smaller amounts. We also use MCA in Winchester - work out ~2.50 each.

     

    It's just easier than spending time, effort and diesel going round merchants - IMHO

    i have 5 or 6 that ive aquired when i see a builder working who has some i ask if i could have a couple usually they are more than happy to give them away.

     

    i have seen these ones in the toolstation catalogue though

    link to bags

    i currently have 20 left in the store after the current round of building works i sorted through what i had and threw the worst away and kept 20 or so that will do me this season, i use them on the trailer to seperate waste from tools etc.
  • Ian Parkes July 10, 2011 at 7:07pm
    just thought bulk be cheaper lol prob 20 will do... i dont do landscaping so really dont have to worry about trailers, seen all sorts of problems and nearly took my finger off before using them at firms... rather not put that thing on my drive either and think u need a special license to be covered by insurance too..
