Hey, i'm looking to cover a concrete area of 650cm by 200cm with shingle, but I have no idea how much i should order. I have seen some good deals on bulk bags, does anyone know the coverage of these, or how to work out how much i need. Thank you x

You've got 13 square metres to cover. One of these covers about 12 square metres at a depth of 5cm: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-20mm-Gravel-Pea-Shingle-Jumbo-Bag/p/190538 So, at a stretch, that might be enough. If not, simply top it up with one or two of these: http://www.wickes.co.uk/Wickes-20mm-Gravel-Major-Bag/p/133794

wow, thanks chris. I really thought one would be way too much, I'm so glad I asked as I was just going to buy some of the smaller bags, that would have ended up costing me loads
