I need to build a concrete step from my back door down into the yard as it's currently a drop of 250mm which my disabled partner and ageing dog both struggle with. I'm looking at a size of around 900 x 450 x 125 mm which I work out to be 0.05 cubic meters and to be honest I'm getting myself totally confused with various DIY shops offerings of various concrete, cement and ballast offerings. I'm also on an incredibly tight budget (every penny really does count), and since I'm far happier dealing with electricals and electronics than sand and cement I'm after a little help.
Using Instant Mix Concrete 25kg Maxibags I figure I'll need 5 bags, but if I use cement and all-in ballast I figure I need 1 bag of cement and 6 bags of ballast which is something like 2/3rds of the price, but I'm not convinced I've done my sums properly........
