KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Pressure Treated Timber: Pressure treated with preservatives to last long with resistance to fungal decay and insect infestation.
- Strong Dimensions: The large 100mm x 100mm (4″ x 4″ ) profile offers excellent strength and stability in a wide range of fencing applications.

Fences are as strong as their posts and the 8ft Green Treated Square Top Wooden Fence Post of the Materials Market is a bestseller because it offers an unwavering support to any boundary. And this is not a piece of wood; this is the protector of the privacy and safety of your garden. It has gained popularity due to its remarkable durability which is a direct consequence of the pressure treatment process which it is subjected to. This treatment drives the wood preservatives deep into the cellular structure of the timber, which forms a strong barrier against rot, damp, and wood-boring insects. This implies that once these posts are in the ground, they are there to remain and withstand the seasons in the course of the year without affecting their structural integrity. The 8ft length will permit a safe 2ft concreted into the ground, leaving a standard 6ft height above the ground to fit most fence panels to the ground.
The traditional square top and large 4″ x 4″ cross-section provide the simplicity of the aesthetic and the strength of gigantic usefulness. This strong profile means that the posts will be strong enough to carry the weight and wind loading of the different types of fencing without sagging or leaning as inferior fencing would do. To DIYers, these posts are very easy to work with and to professional landscapers, they are a product they can always turn to and expect a quality finish and a happy customer. The natural green color of the treatment process enables the posts to mix well with the foliage in the garden forming a boundary that is effective and aesthetic. This post on the fence of Materials Market is a superb combination of value, strength, and durability at a very affordable cost of only £14.03.

3. MOT TYPE 1 SUB BASE BULK BAG (800KG)
DETAILED SPECIFICATIONS
- Composition of Materials: A good grade aggregate is usually composed of crushed granite, limestone or basalt.
- Particle Size: A grade mix of particles between 40mm to dust in grade, which has good compaction and interlocking.
- Conformity: Wholly compliant with the Department of Transport Specification on Highway Works, Clause 803.
- Weight: The weight is provided in a 800kg bulk bag, which gives sufficient material to do significant projects.
- Primary Function: Provides a stable and load bearing sub-base to driveways, patios, paths and building foundations.
Although it is not the most glamorous aspect of a project, the sub-base is arguably the most important, and MOT Type 1 Sub Base is the standard in the industry when it comes to creating a foundation that is unshakable. The name MOT designation denotes the fact that this aggregate is able to meet the high standards established by the Ministry of Transport, which makes it appropriate in highway construction and a testimony to its high quality and performance. This is a Materials Market product which is a specifically designed blend of crushed rock. Its success is due to the diverse sizes of its particles, which range between 40mm chunks to fine dust. These various sizes are then compacted to form a tight interlocking structure reducing the number of voids and forming a solid and stable layer that cannot be moved or settled.
MOT Type 1 is not negotiable when it comes to any surface that must carry a lot of weight like a driveway where cars will be parked, or a patio which will carry heavy garden furniture. It offers superior distribution of the load, evenly distributing the weight and eliminating the possibility of the final surface, whether block paving, tarmac, or concrete, to sink, crack, or form ruts over the years. Moreover, it is well-drained and it does not retain water, which can damage frost heave during colder seasons. The handy 800kg bulk bag delivery by Materials Market will save you the hassle of going to the shops to get more material to build a strong base of your project at the fantastic price of £59.22.
A bulk bag of MOT Type 1 Sub Base will provide the ideal long-lasting base of your project.
4. SHARP SAND BULK BAG (800KG)
KEY CHARACTERISTICS & USES
- Feel: Coarse and gritty with bigger and rougher particles than soft building sand.
- Main Uses: Can be used to make concrete and floor screeds because of the strength that it gives.
- Landscaping Use: Excellent in laying bedding block paving and paving slabs to provide a firm and draining surface.
- Horticultural Applications: Can be blended with compost and soil to enhance drainage of potted plants and garden beds.
- Also Known As: Sometimes called grit sand, or concrete sand.
When the skeleton of a project is of MOT Type 1, then the muscle that holds it together is Sharp Sand. This aggregate is a real workhorse of construction and its popularity is in its special physical characteristics. Sharp sand has large, angular grains, as compared to the finer, softer grains of building sand. This roughness is essential to the production of robust, long-lasting mortars and concretes. The angular form of the particles enables them to interlock well in a mix, which forms fewer voids and the final product has a higher compressive strength. That is why it is the preferred sand to use in applications that require strength e.g. floor screeds and general purpose concrete.
The use of Sharp Sand is much more than mixing. It offers the ideal bedding surface to paving slabs and block paving in landscaping. When compressed, it forms a solid flat surface that keeps the pavers firmly in place and yet it can allow water to pass freely through it and thus it does not puddle or move. It is even versatile to the garden where horticulturalists apply it to loosen dense clay soils and enhance aeration and drainage. Materials Market sources this vital material and delivers it in a convenient 800kg bulk bag at a very affordable price of £59.99, which is an inexpensive and invaluable part of a wide range of construction and horticultural activities.

5. 11MM STRUCTURAL OSB 3 STERLING board (2440MM X 1220MM / 8′ X 4′)
KEY FEATURES & BENEFITS
- Structural Grade (OSB 3): It is designed to be load-bearing and can be used in humid environments.
- High Performance: Has impressive strength and stability, which is why it is a good substitute of plywood.
- General Uses: Widely used in roofing, flooring, wall sheathing, site hoarding and general construction.
- Uninterrupted Quality: Produced with no knots or holes so that it is a uniform and reliable board.
- Cost-Efficient: An affordable way to offer high-performance structural solution with a price of £13.98 per board.
11mm Structural OSB 3 Sterling Board has become the sheet material of choice among builders who are interested in strength, reliability, and value in the world of engineered wood. OSB or Oriented Strand Board is produced by squashing layers of wood strands (flakes) in certain orientations using adhesives. The 3 of OSB 3 is a very important designation; it indicates that the board is designed to be loaded and is produced using moisture resistant resins, so it can be used in applications where it can be exposed to wet conditions like in roof decking or subflooring. This renders it much more adaptable to lower-grade OSB 2 that is restricted to dry conditions.
Materials Market Sterling Board is a best seller as it has been providing performance at a lower cost than the traditional plywood. The manufacturing process leaves it with a board free of the natural defects in solid wood, including knots and voids, and with the same strength throughout the entire sheet, 8 x 4 feet. Such uniformity is priceless in structural applications where consistency of performance is important. It is used by builders and DIYers to sheath timber frame construction, as well as to make solid shed floors and roofs. It is also easy to mark, cut and fix due to its smooth surface which has made it popular as a user-friendly and very versatile building material in numerous projects.
The 11mm OSB 3 sterling board is the best choice of structural board to use in your next project because it is strong, reliable and cost effective.
