Now take these figures and enter them into the quantity calculator to reveal the approximate quantity required for your job.
Remember:
1 metre is equivalent to 1000mm or 100cm
1 centimetre is equivalent to 10mm
6F5 is an aggregate usually composed of crushed limestone or granite although other quarried materials such as Ironstone, Ragstone or Basalt are often used. Sizes range from 100mm down to dust. The term 6F5 Capping is generally used to describe a product that is similar in size and grading to recycled 6F2 Crusher Run but made from quarried stone instead. 6F5 Capping is mainly used a sub-base for roads and buildings although it has many other uses such as Piling Mats and general backfill. The coarse nature of 6F5 makes it a very good all in one product which when compacted forms a hard wearing surface. 6F5 Capping is ideal as an initial layer of hardcore before being finished off with a layer of type 1 sized material.

6F5 Capping is a product made from crushed Granite, Basalt, Gritstone or Limestone (depending on source). The size range is approximately 100mm down to dust.
6F5 Capping is suitable for hard-standings, haul roads, piling mats and bulk fill.
6F5 Capping should be laid at 150-200mm depth when used as a sub base for haul roads and hard-standings. Heavier loadings will require a deeper sub-base and may need to be calculated by a structural engineer. Typically, one tonne will cover 5m2 at 100mm depth. For larger areas you may wish to use our quantity calculator located at the top right hand side of this page under the grey "How Much Will I Need" tab. Simply enter your measurements to reveal the required tonnage. Please be sure to enter the length and width figures in metres and the depth in millimetres to give the correct quantity.
6F5 Capping should be spread with and excavator and compacted with a vibrating roller in layers. It is important the product is properly compacted to prevent settling later on. The depth of installation will depend on the project but we generally recommend 150-200mm for haul roads and hard-standings.
6F5 Capping does allow the passage of water, albeit at a slower rate than other products such as 75-40mm Clean Stone
