Help calculating mortar requirements

onionsa · 2 Mar 2019

I’m having a bit of a mental block while trying to get back into my patio project. I need to get materials sorted for the mortar base for the flags. I’m working on a 42m2 area (over estimate for an odd shape) and looking at a 40mm base @ 5:1 ratio of sharp sand:cement.

Could someone just talk me through the quantities I’d be needing please?

Many thanks.
