Woah a bit defensive there. I wasn’t questioning you saying you were wrong. I was just curious what the specifics of the difference were so I’d know for next time. Just trying to learn. Didn’t mean to offend. I know you said they wouldn’t colour match my question was how different do they tend...

Ah apologies. Does there tend to be a lot of variation between a 4m and 5m width carpet? Are you saying you’d do them all in one length to ensure that doesn’t happen? I added 10cm on each measurement for the cuts but assume you mean something different? My method was to take the shortest...

Hahaha, good work! Thanks, that does make me feel better about throwing the kitchen sink at them. Update: they’ve offered a refund or to send an additional amount. So I’m happy with that. Will be finishing off the garden this week so depends if I need the extra 250kg. I think I will.

Interesting. I worked it out to be about 65 including the stairs. I wonder where we are different in the calcs. I added 10 cm onto each length from my laser measurer for cuts.

Thanks. Sorry I put the measurement for the landing in an earlier post. Its 2.2m x 3m and the mini landing for the second floor is 1.2m x 0.86cm. It finishes roughly straight. It doesn't come out much apart from the very bottom step for the bull nose. Which measures about 1m wide factoring in...

Fair, I didn't think wastage was as much of an issue in underlay. Yeah, correct on the floor plan. The landing size factors that in yeah. The landing on the top floor is about 1.2m long including drop to the first step.

Not a problem at all, appreciate you trying to help.

Thank you, much appreciated.

Thank you. That was the heaviest measurement too, I tried three times and it varied slightly lower so 1,600kg I agree is spot on. So based on a 314cm circumference and 59cm height is the overall volume of the gravel I have 463 litres and thus approx 750kg?

What makes you say that? I ran some string round it and then measured the string. I've just remeasured and its 316cm so slightly out before.

Think its your calc. I calc the volume to be 463 litres but could be wrong. So 1 litre is 1.62kg. Thus weight is 750kg? Can someone confirm my calcs?

What does it work out at 30L weighing 48.6kg? Does that change the total versus the 1600kg per cubic foot?

In fairness this one has, its probably closer to being a cylinder than a square the way I look at it. At least its another method to try and either proves its ok or is more evidence to say it isn't.

The circumference is 314cm, the fill height is 59cm. I've got a 30L plasterers mixing bucket. The weight when filled with gravel is 48.6kg Note that its pretty wet as well so that'll be at the heavier end. Been raining a lot the past few days.

Yeah I noticed underlay seemed to be quite over measured on the online calculators. Appreciate your input.

I've got a floor plan from when I purchased. The ground floor is laminate and won't be doing the bathroom. In the second floor bedroom that top right part on the picture is now an en suite so imagine there being a wall from the corner of the doorway along into the window (which i've shrunk down...

I’m going to do the string measuring tomorrow as the bag is swollen more so than the seams. Don’t think that’ll get me to a tonne but maybe closer to 800kg or so. Still enough to throw back at the company. Probably going to go to trading standards either way. If it was 50kg short I’d shrug but...

Does that factor in compression? Not sure paying for water will make me feel better. Plus gravel doesn’t get virtually 100% heavier when wet!

Thought that might be the case. Was trying to get an idea on cost. But hoping the stairwell gaps will be plenty to cover the things such as stairs. May need a bit extra though.

Hi, Looking to get some fitters in to replace all the carpet upstairs. I'm trying to find a calculator to optimise the number of cuts but keep hitting pay walls. Does anyone have any tips on where to find such a calculator? Essentially some rooms aren't square so with the offcuts i'm wondering...
