As a rule 800kg lays with 6 bags of cement approximately 1000bricks depending on frog depth
10 bricks will be approximately 8kg of sand
60 bricks to a square metre
60 x 8=48kg
2 x 25kg bags =50kg
There’s your answer !!
6 bags of cement into a bulk bag of 800kg sand will turn into a ratio of approximately 5:1 depending on your hod carriers shovel sizes.
