Building & Sharp Sand: choosing well
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.
Covering bulk bags
Cover bags to stop sand drying out or getting saturated, and keep it clean of debris.
