Evening, anyone have a good guess at how much sand & cement I'll need for just over 20m2 area of render ? Scratch & final @ 4:1?
TIA

Amount
- Thread starter Cgas
- Start date
14 bags of sand @ 1 and half m2 a bag and just under 4 bags of cement
That's if you have level walls
Cheers ! Its render over concrete sectional garage walls so I've stripped it back (was prev rendered). & gonna start from scratch but it's like pebble dash at the mo. As pic below
I'm on phone but looks like terylene looks sound as well
I'll be honest I thought that finish was part of the outside of the concrete sectional panels (otherside of the reinforced steel).
So can just render over this again without a scratch coat & paint ? It is missing patches especially around lower edges....was just gonna use bellcast around bottom & rebead etc.
Edit; another pic shows before what I have removed!

Looking at the new picture you maybe right the first Pic only showed a small area, if you render that without a scratch coat you may find it hard to get a good finish and key how many panel's / sections are there? Were there any beads at the section joints on old render?
3 walls each 3m in length. Yeah there was beading on all corners and on one of the bottoms they had bellcast but other then that, nothing.
