Is it best to avoid woodies b&q type places or are prices similar in them all ?

Thanks for any help

avoid woodies and all because they are really for small jobs.( i understand 2x4 is small enough)

ring builder providers like heiton buckleys for prices .

you can now get handy tonne bags of sand that lift straight off a truck and there is very little mess. as in you will not be sweeping sand off your driveway for months
