How many bags of concrete for a 10x12 slab, 6 inches thick?
A 10x12 slab 6 inches thick needs 60.0 cubic feet (2.22 cubic yards) of concrete: about 110 bags of 80 lb mix with 10% extra.
That is over a cubic yard. A ready-mix truck delivery (about 2.44 yards) is usually cheaper and easier than mixing 110 bags by hand.
| Bag size | Exact | With 10% extra |
|---|---|---|
| 80 lb | 100 | 110 |
| 60 lb | 134 | 147 |
| 50 lb | 160 | 176 |
| 40 lb | 200 | 220 |
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.
