garden shed base

[wulbert2001]

does anyone know how much sand cement and aggrigate ill need for a 10ftx12ft base.

320 is the magic number. 320 divided by any depth (in inches) will give you an "x" factor to divide into your square footage.
Example: The form is 120 square feet and is 4 feet deep. Four feet is 48". 320 ? 48 = 6.7 as your factor.
120 ? 6.7 = 17.9 yards of concrete needed.

or

just lay 30 2x2 paving stones and build shed quick and cheap

lol

classic lol
four feet deep sounds very deep mate do ya not mean 4 inches

everything is metric now mate 10 feet is 3.1 m
12 feet is 3.7m

3.7 x 3.1 = 11.5 m squared

1.2 m cubed of cement should do ya from a cement company save ya all the hassle of mixing it
this will give ya a floor ten cm high
so ya could make the frame for the floors from 4x2 and just pour the concrete in and level it easily

cheers everyone. think ill go for the ready made cement c how much it will cost

[daithi]

its about 80 euro a metre cubed in ireland
but theres most likely a minimum price for a delivery
