    Do these need to be drystored (and what happens if they get wet?) and roughly what do they cost for 75mm thickness.
    Thanks for replies:)

    Can't remember the price but in the Builders yard they store them outside, there's nothing in them to absorb water. Off the ground covered over weighted down and they'll be fine. Keep away from chickens - ours eat the foam.

    So that is the colouring in the yolk?

    Colours quite normal but they need a few minutes extra boiling due to the insulation.

    if you can cover them as when wet they seem to change colour and go soft. i'd say its about 15-20 euro a sheet

    Last time I bought 75mm I remember it being more expensive than €15 a sheet. Buy a roll of polythene €15 and wrap them up. They will be fine outside as long as you have them up on planks and off the ground. As said above, weigh them down. If the wind gets under them they be flying around the garden like frisbys
