Planning the drop in Christchurch

Bags come on a pallet or with a mixed load. Christchurch is inside our standard mainland delivery area.

• If the drop point is block paving or soft ground, say so; heavy pallets and bulk bags can mark or sink.
• If the site is up a shared drive or behind other houses, tell us the distance from the road.
• In summer Christchurch gets around 16h 30m of daylight, but early deliveries still beat the traffic and give the longest working day.

Choosing bagged concrete and mortar

Post mix quantities

Most makers say how many bags per post; it depends on the hole size.

Check the yield

Each bag states the volume it makes. Divide your volume by the yield to get the number of bags.

Sizing your order

Setting 12 fence posts in Christchurch usually takes 12 to 24 bags of 20 kg post mix, depending on the hole size printed on the bag. For a base bigger than about half a cubic metre, all-in ballast and cement are usually better value. Compare with site-mixed concrete
