B&Q in Hartcliffe has reopened despite the current government lockdown rules.
It comes after advice from the National Police Chiefs Council that shoppers can "buy tools and supplies to repair a fence panel damaged in bad weather".
Following these changes, it means that 70 B&Q stores across the UK, including the one in Hartcliffe in Bristol, are now back open.
B&Q in Gloucester has also re-opened.
A spokesperson for B&Q outlined why the stores had opened again, saying: "As an essential retailer, we’ve watched other essential retailers support social distancing in their stores and are now in a position to follow best practice and reopen a small number of our stores as a trial, while keeping our colleagues and customers safe.
"We’re strictly limiting the number of customers in store at any one time, and so customers may need to queue before entering the store.
"To help remind everyone to respect each other’s personal space, we have two metre floor markers throughout these stores and also perspex screens at the checkouts.
"We’re urging all customers to follow the government’s social distancing guidelines and to shop responsibly only for what is necessary."
