Why would you need 2ft depth of concrete?
But in answer to your question you will need 11.4 cubic metres
or 14.916 cubic yards

what are you concreting that needs 2 feet of concrete ? I am very curious. Are you concreting over a main sewer. I'm still curious as an after thought there are company's who now supply ready mix that is mixed on site so you only pay for what you use. takes the guess work out.saves trying to get rid of half a metre waste.

I don`t know what you need a slab of concrete so thick for, but work if you work it out in cubic metres;
( 4.6metres x 4metres x 0.6metres =11.04 cubic metres )
Better buying in ready mixed, it will not be cheap, about £90 a cube plus the VAT on top. If you go totally mad and mix it yourself (not recommended) you will need 2.3 tonne of aggregates(sand ,stone, cement) for every cubic metre you need. Thats a total of 25.4 tonnes and alot of mixing, anyway good luck to you and I hope you never have to take it up.
(0.6 of a metre is 600 mm which is just under 2foot)

Edward, the way you figure concrete is by depth. Normally the depth is 4" and 81'sq ft equals a cu yd of concrete @ apx 100 per yard. so your area figures out to need apx 1/2 cu yd of C. convert feet into meters as I cannot figure meters in Oregon, I'm a stick in the mud inch & foot man, so what ever the conversion is...you've got it. pour it in the morning, wet your dirt first b4 pouring and have a good day.
