A square metre is exactly what it says a square with dimensions 1 metre by 1 metre .

I want to buy these, I need 500, so how much will that be do you think?

[paddywak]

10.75 sq ft

500 of those blocks will cover 5 square metres. It will cost you £132.00 plus delivery.

wildwood, if you are right, then I love you and you have made my day.xxx

[EDDIE51]

500 of them will be 5 sq metres in area. They are 100 mm x 100 mm so it needs 10 of them to Sq metre. The 50 is the thickness 50 mm ( or 2 inches )

[sunny-dave]

500 blocks - each block 100x100 = 5 square metres

so £132 plus delivery

[Canary42]

Not sure i understand.

It takes 1200 to cover a square metre so 500 would cover 0.417 square metres.

But as I read it you can only buy in multiples of 1200 (I.e. one square metre), at a cost of £26.40

Also, what do you think this is nice for a driveway? builder told me I need 500 standard block paving. I have now decided on these, so would I need more?

[phleb]

Canary, that Is what confused me(it doesn't take much), 1200, does that mean 1200 blocks?

[Canary42]

Oops, ignore my post.

Headwreck, You are 'ALL' so fab with your answers. You must think I am so thick......? I am when it comes to maths.

Headwreck, thank you, I will enjoy them. I am keeping well xx, he has gone away for a while, to give me a bit of time alone. I need it, with all the anger and physical abuse, it was just going to get worse. He has been referred for therapy, and he must stay away while he is still like he is. Im just concentrating on my home, my children, and getting a drive way done at the moment, and going away to Greece in June for 2 weeks with my two gorgeous children. I never thanked anyone for all their advice, so thank you. xxx
