Choosing bagged concrete and mortar

Check the yield

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

Post mix quantities

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

Working out quantities for your Frome job

Setting 20 fence posts in Frome usually takes 20 to 40 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

Planning the drop in Frome

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

• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
• Keep cement, plaster and boards dry: have a tarpaulin or a garage space ready before they arrive.
• Weight limits on bridges or private roads near the site matter for larger lorries, so mention any you know of.
