    unless i am way off the mark you will need 88 cubic metres of concrete. this is 11 trucks ( more or less) best thing to do is get 2 trucks on return and call in the balance after truck 9 .

    this is a measurement of the 4 inches deep. i would recommend though where ever you intend parling your car i would make is sklightly deeper.

    i am sure some ogf the other guys could check this though.

    ( it will make it easier for yourself ordering materials to use metric also saves on confusion when you on the phone etc)
