Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Thanks, those values are the weights of each bag if i buy them.
Ah, apologies, I read it that you meant just those quantities of materials
Anyhow, 1 cubic meter of general purpose concrete will require:
approximately 750kg of cement = 30 x 25kg bags
2 tonnes or so of sand = 50 x 40kg bags
and 3 tonnes or so of gravel = 75 x 40kg bags
That's a LOT of material, I'd strongly suggest calling in a ready-mix lorry!
EDIT: The figures above are for 2 cubic meters, not 1 as stated.0 -

Yep, I guess ready mix is what I need. So I will dig up the the base and prepare the hardcore.0 -
Really over estimated there. 1 cubic metre of concrete contains approx 3-400 kg of cement and about 2ton of sand/gravel mix. 2 metres could be done easy enough even with a small mixer and 2 people in 3 hrs. Did a 1.5 metres in Feb on an afternoon with a small mixer on my own. Mixed, poured and finished in just over 4 hours. Key is to have material close to pour and short trip for barrowAh, apologies, I read it that you meant just those quantities of materials
