mm) thick or more and building or repairing anything out of concrete,
including:
• Foundation walls and footings
• Sidewalks, curbs, steps, ramps and walkways
• Appliance and equipment platforms
• Pipe and post footings
• Floor slabs and patios
• Pools, fish pools, stepping stones
• Splashblocks and bird baths
• Riprap & slope protection
• Driveway repairs
SIZES
• QUIKRETE

Concrete Mix is available in:
40 lb (18.1 kg) bags
60 lb (27.2 kg) bags
80 lb (36.3 kg) bags
YIELD
• An 80 lb (36.3 kg) bag yields approximately 0.60 cu ft (17 L)
• A 60 lb (27.2 kg) bag yields approximately 0.45 cu ft (12.7 L)
• A 40 lb (18.1 kg) bag yields approximately 0.30 cu ft (8.5 L)

INSTALLATION
PREPARATORY WORK
Stake out the planned area and remove sod or soil to the desired
depth. Nail and stake forms securely in place. Tamp and compact the
sub-base until firm.
MACHINE MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
QUIKRETE

Concrete Mix can be mixed in a barrel type concrete
mixer or a mortar mixer.
• Choose the mixer size most appropriate for the size of the job to be
done
• Allow at least 1 cu ft (28 L) of mixer capacity for each 80 lb (36.3 kg)
bag of QUIKRETE

Concrete Mix to be mixed at one time
• For each 80 lb (36.3 kg) bag of QUIKRETE

Concrete Mix to be
mixed, add approximately 6 pt (2.8 L) of fresh water to the mixer
• Turn on the mixer and begin adding the concrete to the mixer
• If the material becomes too difficult to mix, add additional water until
a workable mix is obtained
• If a slump cone is available, adjust water to achieve a 2" - 3" (51 - 76
mm) slump
Note - Final water content should be approximately 6 - 9 pt (2.8 - 4.3
L) of water per 80 lb (36.3 kg) bag of concrete. For other bag sizes,
use Table 2 to determine water content.
HAND MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
• Empty concrete bags into a suitable mixing container
• For each 80 lb (36.3 kg) bag of mix, add approximately 6 pt (2.8 L)
of clean water
• Work the mix with a shovel, rake or hoe and add water as needed
until a stiff, moldable consistency is achieved
• Be sure all material is wet
• Do not leave standing puddles
Note - For other bag sizes, use Table 2 to determine water content.
