Sand/Cement Mix

K09 · 2014-05-19 15:49:25

Hi, Would these bags be recommended for setting a driveway border? Or am I better off to buy the sand and cement separately? Thanks!

Bought one of them myself and they are rubbish! The cement is contained in a bag at the bottom of the sand so your as well off buying them separately and is much cheaper.

They've probably been sitting of the shelf for ages too. I bought some concrete mix like that in woodies before, cement had gone off, ended up with pretty much just sand all around a shore. Had to dig the lot out Never again....

I'm rubbish at measuring cement! But, I just covered a half meter squared at 25mm with a half bag of cement and 2 bags of sand
