| Thickness | Concrete needed | Order (with 10% waste) | 80 lb bags | 60 lb bags |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 in | 7.41 yd³ | 8.15 yd³ | 334 | 445 |
| 5 in | 9.26 yd³ | 10.2 yd³ | 417 | 556 |
| 6 in | 11.1 yd³ | 12.2 yd³ | 500 | 667 |
The math: 20 ft × 30 ft × thickness in feet ÷ 27 = cubic yards. A 20×30 slab is 600 square feet.
At 4 inches this pour is 334 80 lb bags — at that quantity, ready-mix delivery is almost always cheaper and far easier than bagged concrete. Patios and walkways are fine at 4 inches; use 5–6 inches where vehicles will drive.
