DP1 coverage quiestion

Apip99 · 2006-04-20 08:46:56

Morning All, Question for the Builders amongst us. DP1 for a 70 square meter cobble patio area. How much would I need? I've been recommended that I put down a 75mm hard core base. and using an on line calculator I would need roughly 10 tons to cover the 70 square meter area. Would this be about right? Thanks,

I put in 6 ton of hardcore under a 22 sq metre concrete slab. It was on average roughly 75mm deep.
