Any good offers on gardening stuff?

Hi

We are first time buyers and are trying to spruce up our garden on a tight budget. Has anyone seen any good offers around on;
Fence panels 6ft x 6ft
Fence Paint
Sheds 8 x 6ft
Gravel - any type considered.

Thanks in advance.

Gemma

    lol do you want the members here to do all the work for you :D

    I would suggest you phone up the normal places like B&Q, your local timber places etc, a local quarry etc etc
    Always ask ACAS

    Homebase have 10% off this weekend, and if you spend £30 you get a discount card which gets you 10% off for the next 4 weeks

    erm no, I am not asking people to do the work for me, I am asking if anyone has seen any offers on any of these to let me know!
    I dont have a clue what is a good price, as I said before I am a first time buyer. I have never landscaped a garden, or done anything like this before. So any advice is appreciated.

    my advice is do your research, work out what you want doing and then get prices from at least 3 places and make your decision from there.

    Remember, Cheaper is not always best!

    My friend has just got her fence panels from here and they are better quality than B&Q and Wickes

    Hi Gemandshed :-)

    I was in B&Q weekend and noticed bags of gravel in the building section for just under £2.00 a bag, seems cheap to me :-)

    Also maybe join freecycle, you will be amazed what is being given away!
