How Much Concrete for a 10x60 Slab?
For a 10x60 slab poured 4 inches thick, plan on about 7.41 cubic yards of concrete. That comes from 600 square feet times 0.333 feet of depth, divided by 27. How much concrete for a 10x60 slab at other thicknesses is in the table below.
Concrete calculator →The math for a 10x60 slab
- Area: 10 ft × 60 ft = 600 sq ft.
- Thickness in feet: 4 in ÷ 12 = 0.333 ft.
- Volume: 600 × 0.333 = 200.0 cubic feet.
- Cubic yards: 200.0 ÷ 27 = 7.41 yd³.
- With 10% extra: 8.15 yd³.
The concrete calculator runs the same steps for any size and thickness.

Concrete for a 10x60 slab by thickness
| Thickness | Cubic feet | Cubic yards | Yards +10% | 80 lb bags | 60 lb bags |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 in | 200.0 | 7.41 | 8.15 | 334 | 445 |
| 5 in | 250.0 | 9.26 | 10.19 | 417 | 556 |
| 6 in | 300.0 | 11.11 | 12.22 | 500 | 667 |
Bag counts assume about 0.60 cubic feet per 80 lb bag and 0.45 per 60 lb bag, rounded up.
Choosing the thickness
Four inches is the usual thickness for patios, walks and shed floors. Slabs that carry cars or a heavy hot tub are often poured at 5 to 6 inches, and edges are sometimes thickened where loads concentrate.

Ordering ready-mix
A cubic yard of concrete is 27 cubic feet and weighs roughly 4,000 pounds. Most ready-mix trucks carry up to about 9 to 10 yards, though local trucks and rules vary. If your total is under a yard or two, bagged mix or a short-load supplier may be cheaper.
Base and forms
Uneven ground is the main reason pours run short. Every half inch of extra depth across the slab adds concrete you did not plan for. Screed the base flat, check it with a string line and set the forms to finished height before the truck arrives.
Joints and reinforcement
Reinforcement does not stop cracks, but it holds them tight. Wire mesh or rebar set mid-depth on chairs is common for a slab that carries vehicles; fiber-reinforced mix is an option for light-duty slabs. Joints about 10 feet apart control where cracks form.

How much does a cubic yard of concrete weigh?
