slab for shed

    I am looking to pour a concrete slab (about 11ft by 25ft) and would like to just order the 2m3 or so of concrete for delivery. The only problem is that the corner to the back of the house (where the shed will be placed) is pretty tight. A car/jeep/van can easily get around the corner. However, we had a skip a few weeks ago (40 cubic yards - the biggest available) and the truck only "just" made it around the corner. I'd be very dubious about a conrete truck making it around without doing damage.

    What would my other options be??? The turn at the corner is about 30 metres away from the shed base

    consider getting one of the mini-mix trucks to come and mix it on site.
    AFAIK they are smaller than the big concrete trucks.

    Get some friends with wheel barrows. Do it the old fashioned way.

    Ask for the concrete to be pumped in

    a pump will cost an arm and a leg surely for 2 cubic metres.

    as said, just get a few barrows and work up a sweat.
