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.

Sizing your order

Setting 8 fence posts in Reading usually takes 8 to 16 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

How delivery works in Reading

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

• Mention any overhead cables, low branches or narrow gateways, because they decide whether a crane offload is possible.
• Have someone on site for the delivery if you can, or agree a safe drop point with us in advance.
• Clear a level area for pallets, ideally on boards, so materials stay out of standing water.
