Product Details: Bedding Sand (coarse)

Bedding Sand (coarse)

A coarse, general purpose sand. Great for bedding water pipe or irrigation lines in trenches, turning into sand bags, and laying underneath paving stones.

Because it is coarse and grainy, bedding sand will not compact, and is not suitable for sandboxes – try the Masonry Sand instead.
