How many bags of concrete for a 10x10 slab, 4 inches thick?
A 10x10 slab 4 inches thick needs 33.3 cubic feet (1.23 cubic yards) of concrete: about 62 bags of 80 lb mix with 10% extra.
That is over a cubic yard. A ready-mix truck delivery (about 1.36 yards) is usually cheaper and easier than mixing 62 bags by hand.
| Bag size | Exact | With 10% extra |
|---|---|---|
| 80 lb | 56 | 62 |
| 60 lb | 75 | 82 |
| 50 lb | 89 | 98 |
| 40 lb | 112 | 123 |
Typical yields: 80 lb bag 0.60 cu ft, 60 lb 0.45, 50 lb 0.375, 40 lb 0.30. Check your bag; brands vary slightly. The 10% covers spills, uneven ground and form flex.
