Amount of ballast and cement

Anonymous user 15/03/2024 - 2.41 PM

I have an area 4mx5mx200mm to lay as an end to a driveway. How many jumbo bags of ballast and bags of cement do I need??

Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

So assuming that 1 jumbo bag is 1 T of ballast, 4x5x0.2 totals of 4 cubic meters. 1 cubic meter of ballast is 1.76 tons. You will need 7 bags of ballast and around 50x 25kg bags of cement. This is not 100% accurate, you might have up to 1/3 bag left overs.
