Picking the right product
Covering bulk bags
Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.
Soft or sharp?
Use soft building sand for mortar because it gives a smooth, sticky mix. Use sharp sand where strength and drainage matter: screeds, concrete and paving beds.
