Wickes small sand bags - How much do they weigh

[cox377]

Hello Guys,
I've got a lot of sand and cement rendering to do a the back of a house. I thought about getting a jumbo 950kg bag delivered but I think access wont be good. I've thought about using the small sand bags

anyone got any idea how much they weigh?

Much appreciated

I think it's about 25 kgs. There are roughly 50 to the big bag.

I didnt see the Q&A section. They say 25KG.

TBH the price difference between a jumbo and delivery and these bags seems marginal and gives me lots of flexibility.

I find them a bit tiring to carry

but the big bag would be worse

Wickes is only about 2 miles from the house, but I can imagine trying to get a lorry in a tight road and deliver would be a nightmare lol. I can deal with multiple bags lol

Drop it by the road and check out those new fangled wheelbarrow things

Doesn't help the 4 steps upto the front door and fact of taking a wheel barrow through the house

put a temp ramp and use some old carpet or boards through the house.
