Quantity of limestone chippings

[SLIPPY]

Ive to give a price tomorrow for dashing a wall that measures 100ft long by 4ft high.
This has to be done on both sides with sand and snowcrete then dashed with limestone.
Any ideas on quantity of material for this? would 30 to 40 bags of dash be enough.
I havent had to supply this kind of gear in years so dont wanna be too far out. thanks

It used to be about 25 bags to do a regular 3 bed semi but the bags were twice the size years ago last house we did i think it took about 40 bags and according to your measure it works out about 37m2 i think its about 3m2 a bag so you will need about 12-13 bags.

Thanks Bod , what about quantities of s&c mate.

prod 1 tonne would do but would prob get into the second bag so if the
builder is supplying get 2 bags. Hope this helps

oh yeah i didnt see it was both sides

Go for 25 bags you may use less as it sounds like a garden wall and waste is alot less.
