20 mtr by 20 mtr = 400 sq mtr by .15 mtr = 60 cub mtrs. The point 15 i'm using because it's about 15cms and you have to convert it to mtrs. The nearest is point 15. I'm not using a calculator, but that's near enough for you. Now go and see how much you can but readymix for per cub mtr and you'll have your price, near enough. Get a good concrete layer to do this for you, it's not as simple as just pouring it, eg, you might want to re-enforce the concrete with steel rods, you might need expansion joints, etc, etc. Well worth the trouble if you're going to do it. Remember, it's pretty permanent when it's done, so think about it.

But a cubic yard is a lot less than a cubic metre;).

60 cubic is right at around 60 a metre gives3600 plus your labour and dont forget drains and maybe a machine.

60m x e70 = e4200

in the process of laying a yard ourselves getting the concrete for €62 per meter + vat which can be claimed back. this is for 40N cencrete

Good loser

Got one load recently at €62 per metre + VAT. 35N.

35 cu ft = 1 cu metre.

Would put in that 16 ft x 8ft mesh where there's heavy traffic. Possibly do then with 5'' concrete and 35N?
