<br /> <br />Thank you for all of your replys Gents! <br /> <br />It's indeed a comfort to read of your positive experiences with HDPE as I have none. I hadn't thought to check with HD, but have located another local supplier although I haven't had any contact with them yet. $20 for a 10' piece is certainly pricey, but probably cheap considering the amount of labor saved. It's also not permanent, something to consider from a home resale standpoint, I woud think. <br /> <br />What type of blade have you used on your table saws to cut HDPE? A standard rip? Is TREX about the same as HDPE, just a bit less flexible? <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by iandor</i> <br /><br />I love crusher fines as they are called in this country, they are dirt cheap, cheaper than dirt actually, so why not consider them , they are big help in many ways as you go down the track.[/quote] <br /> <br />Actually, I plan on using crusher fines in a few areas (like yard sidings and 'towns'), and FWIW, it's not the expense. It's the back breaking work of humping 15+ (?) cubic yards of the stuff from the street to our back yard... 135 cubic feet at maybe 1.5 cu ft. per wheelbarrow load, doesn't sound like a real fun way to spend a weekend (or two). This is a hobby after all. <insert smilie here> <br /> <br /> <br />
