concrete recipe

This is one of my jobs. Take it for what it's worth get the ready mix. I pour the stuff almost every day. And yes this IS concrete.

Hey Rudy, I don't profess to know how much of what goes into a particular concrete mix. BUT I do know that mixing it your self is not a good option if you are planning to cover more than 100 sq ft. the cost of ready mix is between 65 & 80 a cubic yard. Take your simple bag of sackcrete at 3-4 dollars a bag it will cost 81 to 108 at 1 cubic foot per bag to get the same amount of concrete. You may have a small delivery charge for a 1 yard load though, but the hassle of mixing it your self isn't worth it plus the quality is of the concrete is not near as good this is a pic of a scale you can copy or you can get one from your local concrete place, take your length x width to find total sq. ft. and find your depth on the scale to see how many sq ft. you will get out of a yard of concrete find your cubic YARDS needed and add a 1/4 or 1/2 for errs depending on the size of your pad!
