Mortar Mix

GSUK · 11 Jul 2010

Hi,

I've been searching the web trying to find a calculator for mortar mix. There's plenty out there but they give such wide variations in results that I've now got myself completelty confused!

I'm building a shed in part concrete blocks \ part timber. Concrete blocks are 440x215x100. I've calculated that I need 150 blocks. With a sand\cement ratio of 4:1, can anyone tell me how many Kg of each I need to order?

Thanks very much in advance,
Glenn

Each block will need about 2kg of mortar so: 60kg of cement & 240kg of sand. Plus a bit extra for waste.
