If it’s just the floor you need 45 cube not 450

Beat me to it ?.

I used one of those on line calculators. Went for 1.5 mtr depth x 12 mtr x 25 mtr . As the other post said. I remember helping Dad in the 70s and yes Machinery heavier now so allowed for that. Big relief if I have it wrong !

1.5 mtr??? You planning on hiding underneath it in case of a Nuclear explosion?

6inches deep would be fine. O.15 metres

Phew. Thanks so much. Should have checked with Dad but he's nearly 90 now. Still keeps his hand in though on the Farm!

1.5 mtr???

When they dig it up in the future they will say "hell they put it down proper in the old days"?

25.000 x 12.000 x .200 = 60 cube. Done in approx 8.0 long x 5.0 wide strips @ 200mm deep will use one 8.0m truck load......This can be done with two peeps and a bar if the truck drivers are handy, otherwise if not is is hard graft! You can reduce the thickness to 180mm if you have made a well compacted substrate. If you are happy with allowing 150mm use the bar and a tape to ensure your MINIMUM is 150mm else you will get thin spots which aren't good for future-proofing.
Personally I put down 200mm substrate well compacted and then a minimum of 150mm all over on 30mm sand blinded DPM. Future proof is a dry floor!
