This is a good find. Was going to get some from argos but this is great for a fish tank. Needs washing and washing again.

Also fine for fish tanks

Play sand is usually just kiln dried building sand. They may also claim its washed , but what exactly needs washing out of sand i do not know.
Sharp sand is the one to avoid for kids ( building sand has finer grains )

Play sand is good for filling the gaps between paving slabs, as it runs into the gaps better being completely dry.

what is difference between building sand and playing sand, seriously, or is it a marketing trick?

As far as I'm concerned, sand is sand!..... I played on the beach, in sandpits and on building sites as a kid and I'm fine.

I'd guess building sand has a wider particle range distribution to help with compaction, play sand may be graded to a narrower particle size range.

I have kids and they get builders sand, they've yet to notice any difference.

Play sand is cleaned. Some building sand is very sharp and will wear your skin down.

That's why I am asking, is it £2.40 for public relations and economical with the truth

Is this type edible ?

About £2.40 a bag! :smile:

argos isnt that expensive:

B&M is where I stocked up last year. Much cheaper.

CHEERS.. :smiley: Saw the Argos offer earlier this week, that was a 15kg bag so this is better value.

great find, heat added :smiley:
