How many yards of concrete will you need for 852 square feet?

Answer 1

The amount of concrete will depend upon the depth you require. Multiply the area in square yards by the depth in yards and you will get the volume in cubic yards of concrete you will require:

3 ft = 1 yd

→ 3 ft x 3 ft = 1 yd x 1 yd

→ 9 sq ft = 1 sq yd

→ 852 sq ft = 852 ÷ 9 sq yd

= 942/3 sq yd

36 in = 1 yd

eq for 6 in depth:

volume = 942/3 sq yd x 6/36 yd

= 157/9 cu yds required

ordering 16 [cubic] yards of concrete will give you [just over] a 6 inch deep slab over that area.

eq for 9 in depth: volume = 942/3 sq yd x 9/36 yd

= 232/3 cu yds required

ordering 24 [cubic] yards of concrete will give you [just over] a 9 inch deep slab over that area.
