Hi. I'm looking to lay some coping stones (7 of them) on a new wall that someone built for me. The wall is 6m long and 29cm wide.

Is there a calculator to work out how many 25kg bags of cement and 25kg bags of sand I need?

Hi millsy5,
It depends on how thick you make the mortar layer but a 12.5kg bag of cement and 2 bags of building sand should be plenty. Do use plasticiser admixture to make mortar more workable and to extend its useable time.
