Joe needs 460 paving slabs to surrond the pond.
600mm is 0.6m, and 450mm is 0.45m, so one flag is 0.27 sq metre. Therefore 4 flags to the square metre
4.94, approx.
To determine how many 400x400 mm slabs fit in a square meter, first convert the dimensions of the slab to meters: 400 mm is 0.4 m. The area of one slab is 0.4 m x 0.4 m = 0.16 m². Since one square meter equals 1 m², you can fit 1 m² / 0.16 m² = 6.25 slabs. Therefore, you can fit 6 slabs, with a little area left over.
Area of slab = 0.6 m * 0.6 m = 0.36 sq metres Minimum number of slabs required = 9/0.36 = 25. This minimum number is based on the assumption that the area to be covered is a reasonable shape so that only a few slabs need cutting and that all the resultant offcuts are used - even if part of the area looks like crazy paving!
