Can someone give me a rough idea of how much sand I would need to make a sand bed for paving slabs for a shed base
I'm getting a 12 x 6 ft shed, depending on what size slabs I get (400mm or 450mm) the area covers by the slabs will be either 8m2 or 9.11m2 and I want to lay a 4cm bed of sand
400mm slabs - 4m x 2m x 4cm = 0.32m3
450mm slabs - 4.05m x 2.5m x 4cm = 0.36m3
if I go off the greater of the two - 0.36m3 how much sand is needed
am looking at getting the 25kg bags of sharp sand and mixing 8:1 with cement for a dry bed, just dont know how much sand to get??
can anyone help?
