What kind and how much would this much concrete cost? Info pleassee?

Question

For a dog run of 30 ft. x 50 ft. and four inches thick. I want to make it all have concrete flooring.
1. Can I do this myself?
2. What is the name of the concrete I should buy?
3. About how much would this cost?
That's 160ft. in total.
ANY OTHER INFO WOULD BE GREAT!! thank you!

Answer 1

160ft??? My math is 1500!!!



You will want to order it pre mixed from a concrete company. They will show up in two or three trucks. The concrete alone will cost 3-5k from a company like this.



There is no way you are doing this yourself. It would take a team of 4 experienced guys 4 or 5 days from start to finish. If you went that route you are looking at 12-15k.



Good Luck!

Answer 2

Go to home depot, they sell bags of concrete, and it tells you how many you need based on size. Yeah, it's 1500 square feet, kida HUGE for a dog run. I think you could do it yourself, if you don't really care how it looks, it may come out uneven, and not perfect, unless you get some people to help, and buy concrete floats, ect...



I'm building a house, it's 58 by 25, about the same as your runner, and it was 18 yards of concrete, @$100 a yard. Home depot would end up costing twice as much by the bag. Then there is labor....

Q A new shed is on tap for us, and I’m ready to build the forms for my 10 x 10-ft. concrete slab. When I order concrete, what should I ask for?



Mike Workman, Arnold, MO





A Here’s a brief rundown of what you need to know.



Amount. Calculate the volume you need in cubic yards. Multiply the length (10 ft.) by the width (10 ft.) by the depth (.35 ft., or 4 in.) and divide it by 27 (the number of cubic feet in a cubic yard). You get 1.3 cu. yds. Then add 10 percent to allow for spillage and slab depth variations.



Strength. Call a local ready-mix company, tell the supplier what the concrete is for, and ask about the best mix (proportions of cement, gravel and sand). For a shed, the supplier will probably suggest a mix with a capacity of about 4,000 psi (pounds per square inch).



If you live in a region with freeze/thaw cycles in winter, ask for 5 percent air entrainment to help the concrete withstand freeze/thaw damage.



Cost. Use $90 per cubic yard as a ballpark figure, but this will vary by region. Also, expect a fee of about $60 per load for delivery. There could be other fees for such things as Saturday delivery and small loads. Ask about these fees so you know the total bill before the truck arrives.

Answer 4

You'll nee 18.75 yards of crete.30 x 50x .33/27=18.33 You will want to order a little over for any grade change. depending where you live will determine how many truck you need. Most will haul 9-11 yards. Concrete wise use a 6 bag full air mix. Where I am in Ohio it cost 92.70 a yard plus a 2.50 fuel surcharge per yard. If you do it yourself you'll save alot in labor. Go to DIY.com and you will get all kinds of info on what you need to do!

Answer 5

One yard of concrete covers a 10'x 10' area 3-1/2" thick.15500 divided by 100 =15 + 10%= 16 yards. You shouldn't even try to do it yourself.Cost is about 100.00 per yard =60.00 truck time. Good luck

Answer 6

there is no way you can mix and pour this yourself and get a good job...will take 19 yds. and cost you about 8000 dollars to have a co. come in and do it all
