General construction/hardware stores

5 years ago
Hi guys,

Another quick question, does Guatemala have any large scale hardware supply stores? As an Aussie, the simplest comparison would be to a Bunnings? I suppose I just want to get an idea around how many different stores, areas I'll have to visit vs. one stop shopping.

I have had a look online and a few people have mentioned that Guatemala City has some mega chains which include a hardware section (e.g. Walmart), however these aren't specific enough for our purposes.

We would be looking at gathering together basic construction materials (i.e. insulation, sound proofing, power tools, wooden slats), electrical supplies (wiring, fuse boxes, inverter, LED lighting fixtures).

Additionally, if anyone knows any places selling/specialising in RV fittings (roof fans, solar panels, vehicle batteries etc), that would be amazing.

Many thanks guys, really appreciate the help!
