NOTES FOR THE COMPARISON CHART
Some suppliers offer limited discounts, these are not included below.
Most amounts rounded to nearest pound.
Where a unit is not high enough (approx 30cm) we estimate the price of two units.
*1 not available at 30cm high, this is 40cm high
*2 not available at 30cm high, this is 25cm high
*3 supplied as 3 units each 1 sq m
*4 we suspect that these are on the thin side after reading comments on the site.
*5 only 14cm high and no stated ability to stack.
*6 timber only supplied, no holes pre-drilled
*7 the price is approximate because the sizes are unusual. Visit the site for more information.
*8 These are new softwood sleepers and the timber only is supplied. The overall area is larger than average, approx 2.2m by 2.2m. See website for more details.
*8 Based on their kit 1.87m by 1.87m and 45cm deep
