Free sand?

Post by jas_rho » Fri Jul 17, 2009 10:09 am

Anywone know a of a sand pit or something in the Espoo - Kirkkonummi area where people can just take a bit for free? I don't need anything high quality but I haven't even looked into what it would cost from a hardware store or some where. I don't even need that much, just a few buckets for example.

BTW - Kirkkonummi K-rauta has bad service, employees that don't care and just wanna go home, nothing in stock, and a kauppias who is just like his employees. I'd write more but its a LOOOOONG story. I just figured I would warn everyone else from making the same mistake by going there :ohno:

Try Varuboden (Rautakauppa). Depends on what fine-ness of sand you want ( 0-2mm, 3-10 etc or small stone-like sand used during winter)...
Bags of 25Kg are around 5-10 Euros ( But way less and are usually on sale).
BTW; IF you are in Kirkkonummi, I have some tips to save some money at the Rauttakauppa..

The varuboden rautakappa from my experience is more expensive than the k-rauta. But for some small things they are gonna get my business more than k-rauta. Let me know the tips you have to save money. I am always willing to hear those! :D

Not for small things ..
The thing there is that Rauttakeskus will give you discounts upto 15% on certain items ( I got a 11% on nails and stuff )..
when you open a "Tili" there (Account)..
you also get your S-bonus on top of that..
So This beats K-Rauta anyday!!!
