How to work out how much hardcore I need is a puzzle to me.
I know they sell it by the tonne but because I have never done anything like this is my life I wondered if they was a formula that I could use like length x width x depth?
The drive is 50 x 22 but how deep should it be? and how much would that weigh? How many tonne?
Questions, questions, I know I am skint but I what a nice example of a excellent drive as this would be a best first effort. ???

The drive is 50 x 22

is that metres or feet???
if it is metres you need 200 tonnes of MOT
if it is feet you need about22-24 tonnes of MOT stone
you can buy crushed concrete quite cheap in most places if you are on a budget,about Â£150 for 12 tonnes
hope this helps tony
