Cement: choosing well
Working in cold weather
Mortar and concrete should not be laid when temperatures are near freezing. Protect fresh work from frost.
Storage
Cement goes off if it gets damp. Keep bags on a pallet, covered and off the ground, and order what you will use within its shelf life.
Estimating your cement
Laying 2,000 bricks at a 1:4 mix takes about 17 bags of 25 kg cement and 1.87 tonnes of building sand. Try the mortar calculator
