What Sand Should I Use For A Patio?

Normal sand that you can find in the garden center

You can get a 1/2 cubic yard 1000 lbs for about 15 dollars at aggregate construction wholesale place and it is usually called a number 11 grit(playground sand) i think...oh! This is if you pick it up yourself...i usually take a pick up truck and lay a  tarp out in the bottom(for easy removal and clean up) and have them pour it directly into the bed...usually they will do this with a  front end loader...oh! My truck is a long bed s-10(6 ft bed) in case your wondering what you need to handle the load...instead of buying 20/50 lb bags of sand...or you could have a slinger truck  throw a pile  into the area you are wanting to build your patio...since you don't say what size patio you are trying to build...
