10' x 8' x 4" is roughly 3 m x 2.5m x 0.1m or about 0.75 m^3.
If you work on the basis that 1 m^3 of concrete weighs 2.2T I reckon you're short of some ballast. More like 1.4T ballast and 250kg cement.

Well, I worked on 6:1 then rounded the quantities.

Maybe he lives in Boscastle and doesn't want his new shed to float away.
