Hello all,I'm currently converting a small barn into a garage/workshop on the farm,problem is it has a sloping floor in it as it was build primarily as a calving shed.I need to get a floor poured and powerfloated,but I would like to do some of the work myself to keep the cost down.Could anyone tell me what grade/size stone fill to get so i can level it up to the level at which the concrete will be poured? I will only be driving cars and vans onto it,no big tractors.Any help/advice would be much appreciated thanks:)

50mm down would be normal. What depth on average are you going to put in?

Thanks for the quick reply tom, floor is 43' L x 20' wide but at the deepest part i would be only filling around 14-16 inches,tapering to level at around the 30 foot mark.there's a concrete floor down already so i think i'd just need to give it a belt of a whacker to compact the stone,then i'm getting a builder to pour the floor/powerfloat it.

You're looking at about 13m3 of fill.
