How to use it

  1. Pick the shape

    A slab or a footing, or round columns, in feet or metres.

  2. Type the sizes

    Length, width and thickness, or the column’s size and how many.

  3. Set the bag

    Type what one bag makes, from its label, and the extra for waste.

Tips

  • Read the bag

    The label says how much one bag makes. Bag sizes differ from country to country.

  • Waste

    Uneven ground and spills eat concrete: 5–10% extra is usual for a slab.

  • Big pours

    Past a cubic yard or so, ready-mix is often easier than mixing bags.
