25kg bags of dash

[ajplastering]

hi, not done any dashing for a while and trying to work out how many 25kg bags dash I need. Anyone know how many sqm a bag will cover roughly or is another way to work out as hate having bags over or not enough

 

[PFTwales]

2'5 m2

depends how well you catch it . OR try doing one wall work out the m2 to bags used ratio and go from there , :RpS_blink: is it just me !!!!!!!!

Allow1m2 per bag if you haven't done it for awhile ? Depending on size of the chippings? 8-10mm you should get 1.5 - 2m2 (allowing for awkward bits etc)

I would go with marshys way , as said though all depends how many u catch , could get 1 metre could get 2 ......

cheers thought be about average 2sqm

So to recap ,answer a 2.5 m per bag
answer b work it out yourself
answer c 1 m or maybe 1.5/2m
answer d see answer c
answer e ,it depends

 

[CTPlastering]

Its all down to the catching of them john lol probz only 40 percent stay on wall rest drop back down .... Al depends on peoples methods

Also depends on how big the pebbles are. 3 to 8mm spar will average 2.25m2 a bag but the 8mm+ spar will not go as far.
