Ballast Sand Trade Packs (25kgs)

"All in Ballast" refers to a mixture of sand and gravel that is used to make concrete. In general the sizing of the grains/stones varies from 0.1mm to 20mm and is produced using a mixture of sharp sand and 4-20mm pea shingle. Concrete is a mixture of sand, gravel (Ballast) and cement that sets hard within a few hours of being mixed with water. The proportions of ballast, cement and water are varied to give concretes of different strengths and workability. In general the less water that is used in the initial mix, the stronger the resulting concrete will be when set.

For general building purposes Ballast is suitable for many uses. These include:

• Mixing concrete for foundations and footings
• Making concrete slab for a Conservatory, Garden, Shed or Extension
• Foundations for garden walls etc.
• Concreting in fence posts
• Making paths
