How much hardcore needed ?

[shd1970]

Hi there,

The wife reliably tells me that i have 22sq mtrs left of our driveway to gravel and that i WILL do it this weekend

So, can anyone confirm please how much hardcore i need to order ?

I was planning on trying to get a compacted depth of 5".

Can anyone confirm for me please, as the guy at the builders merchant just said that i would need 10 tonnes !!!!!

Surely not.............

Many thanks in advance.

22 msq x.125 m depth x 2 tonnes per mcu (density of type1) = what he said.
