Hi,

Math was never my strong point. I am getting ready to dig my footers (if the weather holds, this will be tomorrow). However, I am stuck a little I am planning on pouring 7"H x 15"W footers. Locally I am able to source concrete mix (just add water) with a Net Wt. of 66lb (30kg). Would any of you bright people happen to know how much of a bag (or how many bags would be required to pour such a footer? I will have 15 footers this size in total.

Please and thank you. I will of course add some rebar in the middle to strengthen the footer. In the next few weeks I plan on adding some pictures of my progress so far
