Quick question, how much sand will I need to re-joint around 150sqM of patio with gaps around 20mm.

Generally working on the 6:1 ratio with Cement.

If I can I will get bulk bags delivered but don't want to go too overboard nor run out by miles.

Thanks.

Yes good point. Slabs are around 40cm square about 2cm deep. Plan is to start tomorrow due to some sudden extra hands.

Yes all cleaned out today, then patio slabs pressure washed and joints cleared. Local place normally does same day deliveries.

Local building merchants delivered 1tonne of sand at 1000 this morning! (Smallest order quantity but still cheap) One thing clear will not need a tonne but progress went well over 50% done.

Any one need any sand?

How are you applying it? In my younger days I brushed it in dry and then sprinkled it with water. Made a hell of a mess!
Yep doing exactly that. Doesn’t look too bad.
