concrete in birmingham area

[b21playa]

Im going to be digging trench foundation for a garden shed, 40 ft length x 17inches wide x 20inches deep.

how much is required and anyone know any ceap places in Birmingham to supply it.

I also only have narrow access to the back, any ways around this?

That's one hell of a shed foundation!

Using your figues you need 3.3 cubic metres of concrete

1 tonne of dust
2 tonnes of sand
4 tonnes of ballast

As to narrow access - barrow & some friends!

Forgive me if I'm being a bit thick here but if your shed is 22' x 18' and you are laying a strip foundation the the total length is going to be the perimiter of the shed - 80'

What is the shed's construction ? and do you really need a strip foundation rather than a raft

Sorry your right, I only counted one half of it.

Will be built using blocks
