Edgeing around concrete slab.
Have just had a slab done for a shed and it's been put on the boundrys. So basically there is about 200mm between the shed and the fence.
What i'm wanting to know is what would be best to put in this area to stop the grass growing. Because once the shed is up there is no way to get into this area.
Any advice would be good.
Thanks

100mm thick layer of scoria or screenings (not crushed rock, you don't want fines) or 50mm layer of concrete

If it is on the boundry why is there a 200mm space

I would speak to the neighbours and see if they are willing to use the shed wall as a fence for the length of the shed and then just have your fence take off each end of it. 200mm is a pain, just large enough for animals to crawl into and die because they can't get out.

I'm no lawyer but I have a suspicion that if you were to allow the neighbours to use that piece of land and adjust the fence line accordingly then, after a period of time (7-10 years or something), the neighbours can claim title to the land.

yeah gutter overhang. It's probably more like 150mm.
I'm thinking of doing a strip of concrete, probably the easiest way.
Now how much bags of cement will I need, I presume I'll need sand as well. What about crushed rock or steel?
The area i'll need to cover will be about 12 metres at 150mm wide and 50mm thick.

OK, at about 3 inches thick, you are going to need to make up about .2m3 of concrete. 1m3 of concrete takes .75m3 of stone (14mm screenings) .65m3 of concrete sand & 12 20kg bags of cement, you work it out)
have fun....
(.15 of stone, .13 of sand 2.5 bags of cement, standard 6x4 trailer holds 500kg & .5m3 of product)
