Very quick question. How many bags of sand will I need to lay 80
bricks
for the base of a greenhouse.

How big are your bags of sand required?
The normal Wickes size of from my local builders merchant. I can't
see
that it will need many.

Prolly 3 or 4 bags, plus a bag of OPC, add water, mix thoroughly to
a nice
stiff creamy consistency, add to faces of brick, lay brick in a
straight
line where you need it, repeat for another 79 bricks making courses
as you
go to required height. Leave a small gap at the lowest points for
water
escape when the garden hose stays on when you go watch TV.
Finish job.
Make a cuppa
Stand back and watch next doors cat pee all over them ;-)




I'd keep it OFF the faces if I were you - looks 'orrid !!!

AWEM

Mind you......taller sided so less bricks required for the same height ;-)
