Anonymous user 03/03/2024 - 3.05 PM

Can some one tell me how much sand and cement I will need to build a double skin (225mm) wall which is 11.5 metres long and 1 metre high. My mortar mix will be 4:1. Many thanks

You will need approximately 2.5 bulk bags of sand and roughly 15 bags of cement to complete
