I have done numerous jobs around my house and all I can say is..it depends on your location (east coast or west coast).If you live in the east coast,of coarse this isn’t the time..everyone out here will be hungry in spring (contractors) and “too busy” in the summer for such a small job,so I bought bags of crete and did it myself.I got a better feeling and did it my way,my time,and it was cheaper.A pad that small is not too intimidating and if it is just for a shed,use 2×4,3/12″ all the way around deep.use would stakes and fill dirt around the 2×4’s and start mixing.Have someone cook a bbq and have fun with it.As long as it is square and 3/12″ thick..your fine.The finish doesn’t necessarily have to be perfect.As long as you take a longer 2×4 on top of the form to keep the level on top flat,then just trowel as it sets up and use an edger if you want and you will be pleased with the outcome.make sure to mix A LITTLE wetter than they say (not much) it will give you a bit more time to work with it.If you decide to go this route..good luck,email if you need my help.

Type in Concrete Calculator and this will tell you how much concrete you will need, Around here in Western NC it runs about $110.00 yard then someone hs to finish But you can do that yourself,Best of Luck

4″ thick is about 2/3 of a yard. Most places around massachusetts will only sell one yard minimums. So it’s around $300. HOWEVER, if you are really die hard, you can save a bunch of money and mix and pour it yourself, but it’s gonna be a lot of work. It should be around 30 bags… give or take.
