You require about 0.9 cuic metres of hardcore, from what I know 1 cubic metre = 2 tonnes so I say you need 2 tonnes.

we just finished our patio was just over 20 sq meters and we used 2.5 tonnes cost about £40 from the pit.

How deep did you lay it?

How deep did you lay it?

abt 2 inch deep i think. we went down 5 inch from the damp course then had type 1 compacted down then layer of cenet with 40mm thick slabs on it. took 2.5 tonnes of type 1 and abot just over 1 ton of sand.

Hardcore is around 1.9 - 2 tonnes per cubic metre.
2 inches is approx. 51mm.

18 x 0.051 = 0.92cu m.

So if you round up, you want to cover an area of 1 cubic metre, so you'll need 2 tonnes of hardcore.

Simples....

Well - - I think you'll need to provide more information than that, Jim - - and, of course, you could always ask Rod Stewart
