How much does a 'standard' 600mm x 900mm paving slab weigh
(approximately)? I want to know so I can guesstimate how many I can
put in the back of my car.


If you're talking about the pressed granite sort used by local authorities,
I always reckon that a 2x2 weighs a hundredweight, and a 3x2 a hundredweight
and a half.

On that basis, one of your 600x900 (nearly a 3x2) will be about 70Kg.

Thanks, so about a person per slab, maybe two lots of 5 would be
sensible then.
