Calculating Coverage: How Many Square Feet Does A 50 Lb Bag Of Quikrete Cover?

Q: How many square feet can a 50-pound bag of QUIKRETE® Fast-Setting Concrete Mix cover?

A: Each 50-pound bag of QUIKRETE® Fast-Setting Concrete Mix yields approximately 0.375 cubic feet when mixed. To give you a practical example, if you have a hole that measures 13 inches by 13 inches and needs to be filled to a depth of 6 inches, you will require 0.59 cubic feet of concrete. To cover this area, you would need approximately 2 bags of the 50-pound QUIKRETE® Fast-Setting Concrete Mix. This information is helpful when planning your concrete project, ensuring you have the right amount of material for the job.

Q: How much area can be covered by 1 bag of QUIKRETE?

A: A single 60-pound bag of QUIKRETE Concrete Mix can cover approximately 0.45 cubic feet when properly mixed. To fill an area measuring 6 feet by 1 foot 8 inches by 2 feet (6′ x 1’8″ x 2′), you would require a total of 20 cubic feet of concrete. This translates to approximately 45 bags of the 60-pound QUIKRETE. It’s important to note that these calculations are approximations and can vary due to factors such as waste, uneven subgrades, and other conditions.
