it's 4 sided I just forgot to put the 2 in he equation. In addition I will be adding a Smart Rock Sensor(https://www.giatecscientific.com/products/concrete-sensors/smartrock-maturity-meter/) to the concrete that will give me the PSI rating.

I tried another MFG and they can not meet the deadline. So that puts me here. I have the inside portion of the form completed and once i determine the product I am using I can get the depth of concrete and do the outside. Is the Non Shrink High performance a bad idea?

my calculations where as follows: 4x6x.33x2 + 4x4x.33 = 26.37. So essentially 1 yard. Than the grout covers.45 Cubic Feet per bag and I am adding 25#'s of 3/8 minus Pea rock per bag and I figured the 25 pounds pea rock would cover.25 cubic feet. So I took 27 divided by .7 and came up with 38.57...
