OK, you want to do a patio that big, the depth (of concrete/cement) has to be at least 6inches and it MUST be reinforced if you don't want fick f/o cracks to appear. You'll need welded trellis reinfocement: the main rods should be 10mm diameter (8mm at the very veyr minimum) with connections of 6mm. The concrete/cement should be poured onto a 2-3inch base of 10mm gravel.
A mix of 3:2:1.5 (gravel:sand:cement) will suffice.
Happy mixing |
I don't know why, but it's friday evening, so I picked a random thread from my early days to bump and this just fit the "wtf" bill for gfy - only on gfy can you learn how to seo a porn site and mix a concrete slab for a patio on the same forum
