Been rendering an outdoor pool at Stroud , and using this red rending sand ! has anyone used this sand before ? it seems very soft and thirsty stuff, as long as it go's -off hard i will be happy , ......
 
Red sand here in South Yorks is Mansfield Red, a red building sand. There is a red plastering sand around which the big boys sell and it set well hard. It from the Nottingham area.
 
Reminds me of a job bout 12 years ago at the Chelsea flower show for an arab and had to render a block wall about 75/80ft long x 50 ft wide and the sand was shipped over from Abu Dhabi all because the architect wanted this red sand, long story short sand was sh it and was impossible to rub up:mad:
 
used to work around that area ..hard to get good sand

charlford building supplies have good yellow washed

i know we used some from morton cullimore and it was
brought from derbyshire ...was pretty awful stuff
 
red sand down in the southwest is awefull.too fine.all the houses rendered in the 80/90`s are poor and are failing over time due to the quality of it
