How many bags of sand/cement for wall rebuild?

[sienewman]

Hi

I'm rebuilding a wall that's started to collapse and need to get in some sand/cement to rebuild. Any thoughts on how many bags I'd need to buy?

The wall is roughly 8ft long and 18 inches tall

Bang your dimensions into this , you won't need a lot that's only a small wall

Oh if it's collapsing , it probably means the foundation is not suitable so you will need to check and sort that out too or it will just collapse again

Great, looks like it's 1 cement and 3 sand from the calculator.

Thinking of digging down a bit deeper for the base blocks that the walls sits on to stop it falling over again. It has survived 20+ years before falling down though so another 20 years will do me.
