I put alot in bottom of my garden years ago we got them off a firm called macaferri Ltd I think it was. They were good to deal with but we just filled our own.

I've had some from these before now, good to deal with and the right price.

I had a fair bank to retain at home (something like 80 baskets ish) and to cut a long story short have some left over they have been dry stored might be of some use to you depending on how many you need. I no longer have a use and they are just taking up space.Cant remember how many exactly off top of me head but there could be 10 of each size maybe more (will check tomorrow eve if your interested as they are stacked on a pallet at back of shed and cant remember) but i have 2Mx1Mx1M and also 2mx0.5Mx0.5M which if you stacked 1 small and 1 big you world have 1.5 high. I also have 1 pack of joining heli-coils (possibly more) to link the baskets together properly and enough weaving wire to assemble them. They are triple dip galved and good quality. If you want exact numbers of baskets just let me know. Steve

God no dont do it. Their terms are conditions mean you wont be able to return any baskets that you over order (they give you 9 days from the point of ordering even though it will take at least a week to deliver, and when you try, their directors are rude and uncomprimising. Source elsewhere or buy with caution. Never dealt with such a rude firm with no customer focus. Clearly dont want repeat.business.

How strange! Found them helpful, knowledgeable and courteous. I told them the length I wanted to retain, height at various places, and they worked it all out for me. The stone is not cheap, though, and it was direct from a quarry.
