How much concrete will I need to pour a 259sq ft pad 4in thick?
Question:
Answers:
259 sq ft x 0.333 ft (that's 4 inches) = 86.25 cubic ft.
27 cubic feet = 1 cubic yard.
86.25 / 27 = 3.2 cubic yard. You'll want to make sure to have some extra.
3 1/2 yards should do.
Husband says 3 1/2 yards.
I agree with the rest 3.2 yards of concrete.
If you plan on using do-it-yourself bags, think again.
It would take 173 sixty pound bags or 130 eighty pound bags.
That's a lot of mixing in wheelbarrow.
Save yourself the grief and order for a concrete company.
OH, don't forget the rebar or reinforcing material also.
