How many shovels are in a standard bag of cement?
Everyone seems to talk in shovels and half bags but I can’t tell what that translates to in real life. So what I hope is a simple question: how many shovels are in a bag of cement? And how heaped is that?
Expert Trade Answers
"A 25kg bag of cement is roughly 8–10 level shovels or about 6–8 heaped shovels, depending how full you load it. That’s why it’s better to measure cement by the bag and sand/ballast by shovels or buckets to keep the mix consistent."
