Sir,

If I had to fill Pb pallets in a Stand, then it would weigh 200 kgs +++

I use a mix of 4 items.

Sand - River & Beach
Stone - Pebles & 'Khadi' [used in construction called 'metal']
Pb - pallets / shots

Pure Pb is too expensive & very very heavy.

I use Pb on the bottom - 3 to 4 inches, then I put 2 types of stones & finally fill it with sand - 2 types.

But this is Off Topic. Sorry !!!
