Thats quite a big area to concrete by mixing it yourself so if you got the money then get a bowser in. I think if you go on some of there websites like Readymix you can put in the dimensions of the area you are going to concrete and they will work out a price for you. Some of these bowsers have pipes to pipe it in if it cant get right next to your base...

Oh and its not cheap by the way.....

prepare you base, with edge & crush in, section area 13x13, do 1 area, leave 2 day then next then next. Get fibre concrete deliver. Is better cost to get in, if you mix , it no be as good , & also you back break !!( is heavy material ) They put over house if you require , they get it in any place you need.

Sick of looking at the stuff lately, recently done a subby floor in a house only 4inches for a sub floor the room was 11.3 meters by 4.8 width it took a full wagon 6 cubes which was £465 + Vat £585 this is also with fibres in it stops it from cracking while its setting,put shome sheets down to stop it drying to fast and cracking also! Work off that metreage to get a rough idea of what price and how much you need and good luck! Try Hanson there based in Acomb Northumberland! Thats a good price aswel!

 

 

Ifter doing some maths i think your best getting 10 cubic metre's better have a little more than a little less probs be around £890 including VAT thats at 4iches depth! Ample for stable!

10 cubic metres is approx 25 tons ffs You need it setting up properly, do it in stages and make sure you've got plenty of help!

The fact that your asking means you aren't confident, get someone in with experience to at least help you plan it.

Good luck . Cheers, D.

Not being funny Genuine but your sub floor is a bigger area, so your calculations are way out.
