JandD Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Having 5/6 tonne granite type 1delivered Monday pm, I've been reading that in rain it would be hard to move, is this true? How heavy would the rain need to be before it made it hard to move? I am off this week so will be moving it about as soon as it's delivered just unsure how long it will take me and what if I leave half overnight? What would it be like in the morning?... this is just for a few temp temp car parking so we don't block the main driveway.... thanks justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney12 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 Not sure what you’re moving it with, I’m guessing muscle and elbow grease? if it gets drenched it will start to bind together but that would take a good downpour over a prolonged period.

JandD Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yep barrow and spade, not worried about me! Lol just wondered how much rain it would take before it would bind together, but not sure if I'm being over cautious.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterW Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 About 6 months ... the fines will wash out of it first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oz07 Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 If you can have tipped on a hard surface is much easier. An old concrete driveway or pad is much easier to shovel off than ground Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
