Hi guys, Trying to price up my new garden wall, approx 1300 bricks. How much motar do you reckon i will need? I guess 4 bags of cement, and 20 bags of sand. Assuming the bags are 25kg each, does this sound right? Thanks
I recon about .4 of a square metre with a 10mm muck joint - round it up to 1/2 square meter - I think you are about right. If you get the stuff from Wickes or B&Q you could always get a bit more and take back what you dont use.
Thaqnks for the replies, KC - i reckoned it to be approx 0.4m squared too! hence my approximation of the quantities i listed. BUILDER - you sure I need 1140kG per 1000 bricks? thats 1.14kG per brick, seems alot... With your figures i need to double up my estimates! Taking a different angle for a moment, how much do you reckon a pro would charge to build 8 pillars (1.5 bricks wide, 6' tall) with 7 off 6' wide 5 brick high walls between the pillars. The remainder of the gap filled in with fence paneling.... Thanks again.
Thanks again for the replies, i've got to carry this lot up a steep bank to get to the back of my garden... I had worked the price out to be approx £3k, nice to know I got something right! Signing off, worrying about carrying all that brick and muck up a 25' terrace! Maybe she would like a nice chain link fence instead... Thanks again
