How much ballast and cement do I require for an area of 2 sq.metre x 100 mm thick concrete.
Are you a tradesperson and able to answer this question?

Hi Mike, you will need 0.2 cubic meters of concrete.
The cheapest way would be a bulk bag of ballast and 5 bags of cement, there will be some ballast left over

You need 0.4 cubic meters
Which is almost half a tonne
Depending how strong you want it I would say 4 bags of cement

Good morning. I would go for a 4-1 ratio so that would be 4 ballast to 1 cement.
If buying a bulk bag of ballast you will need 6 bags of cement.
