Southdown Sand - In BC - Where?

[Myka]

Hi all. This is my first post on this board.

I am looking for Southdown sand. Of course I can't find any. If you know of a source please let me know! Does YOUR Home Depot have it???

Thanks!

Mindy, welcome to the board. Unfortunately, you won't find southdown in western Canada.

Oh really? I thought I had seen somewhere that someone had gotten Southdown in the Lower Mainland?

PS Thanks for the welcome.

ok I'll bite what is southdown sand?

Its caribean aragonite packaged as childrens playsand for sand boxes and whatever else, large stores back east usually have it, we dont have it out west because shipping is too expensive for stores to want to carry it, no profit margin...

The only southdown in the lower mainland came from California, if I remember right. Some companies sell a slightly less expensive brand, such as Jayson at saltwater connection sells. Still pricey though, and after shipping, certainly not cheap.

Unless you order a pallet.
