Cement bags have a yield printed on them. Have you ever tried Pinky to handle 80lb. bags? Not worth the effort! Hire a cement truck to Registered User deliver the correct amount and save your back! Joined: Saturday, 15th of May 2010, 04:22:01 Posts: 564 Viewed 1357 times

Break down and have a truck come. And if you are in an area baby cakes that experiences freezing wintertime temperatures, I would make it at Registered User least 4'' thick. You could also rent a concrete mixer from one of those Joined: Friday, 21st of May 2010, 01:08:31 rent a centers. I think you would be looking at 40 to 50 bags. Posts: 2003 Viewed 11955 times

It sounds like a good idea, but in reality, you would be much Greasy Lips McGee better off hiring a truck to come in & pour it for you:) My husband was Registered User going to pour pads on each side of his horseshoe pits, & it was incredible Joined: Friday, 11th of June 2010, 11:14:06 how many bags it took! (Can't remember exactly, now) But the bags sure Posts: 382 don't go as far as you think they will~plus you only have so much time to Viewed 1574 times work with it before it sets up, so something that large~call the cement
company & have them come dump it in ur forms for you:)
Good Luck!!
PLUS~I think you will need a MINIMUM of 4'' for ur pad;)
