How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For shot and gravel song:
• ± 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For granulometries> 32mm a thicker layer is necessary.• Saca consumption: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Covering capacity: ± 12.5m² with a layer of 5 cm.
For pine cortex:
• ± 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000L = ± 1m³ = ± 600kg
• Covering capacity: ± 14m² with a layer of 5 cm.
For volcanic, slate and chamota:
• ± 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Saca consumption: 1000kg = ± 1m³
• Covering capacity: ± 20m² with a layer of 5 cm
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of ± 1,650kg by 1m³.
The calculation is very simple to understand with an example, if you have a 100x50x30 cm gav. You have to make the following accounts:
1x0.5x0,3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg. stone.
*It is always good to calculate an extra 5%, since the gavions when filling them are a little and always enters some more stone than in the theoretical calculations.
Clarifications
ATTENTION!
Granulometries are sizes of sizes
Real sizes can vary slightly, since when talking, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through a square mesh of 80x80mm. and do not go through a 60x60mm.
This 80x80 mesh can pass a 100mm stone. long and 65mm. wide so there may be a percentage of stones greater than 80 and less than 60mm.
Broken stones
On the other hand, in the stones of more than 60mm. There is a percentage of up to 10% stones that can be broken during classification, washing, loading and downloading, today we have no machinery that avoids those breaks.
In the photos you can see, only real products are seen, broken pieces have been removed.
Dust and sand in products
This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; The stone will be washed alone over time or can throw water before using it.
Granite slabs
Natural granite with abujarded or granallado finish, any of these finishes makes it a totally non -slip slab, a classic that does not go out of fashion, resistant, elegant and maintains its intact appearance throughout life.
Perfect to create paths in your garden, comfortable, practical, maintenance and natural beauty that will not leave anyone indifferent.
How to place slabs in the garden
The placement is very simple, it is enough to make a sand bed of the same size as the granite slabs that you choose and settle them well on that bed, the pieces will not move. They can also be placed on mortar but it is not necessary.
The pieces are non -slip so you do not have to worry, they are perfect to make steps and paths, it perfectly endures frost and is a non -porous stone so dirt will not be embedded.
They are very suffered pieces, the dirt is not noticeable and with a water they remain like the first day.
Difference between granallado and abujardado
Granallado is one of the most basic finishes that you can find in granite slabs, a technique, which thanks to the use of small steel sparks, clean the stone surface and leave the granite with rough finish.
The abujardado is another natural finishes used to eliminate impurities from the stone surface. In this system, the granite is holful with a bujarda hammer, whose head is covered by metal teeth that are giving a slightly more rough stone than the granallado.
