The area that 60lbs of sand will cover is dependant on how deep you want it.æ One hundred pounds of sand equal 1 cubic foot.Your customer service rep at your local storeæcan calculate how much you will need.
11,923,200 sq in. of sand.
use a known volume container to measure a quantity = 200 x (the depth you want the sand).
you would need 3 qb. yards of sand to cover that area L X W X .25 FOR 4 INCHES DIVIDED BY 27
1 cubic foot=100 lbs of sand 1728 cubic in.=100 lbs of sand 864 cubic in.= 50 lbs of sand 432 cubic in.= 25 lbs of sand and so on and so on
This is a volume calculation. I assume the dimension for the "6" is inches? If so, the volume= 20x20x0.5= 200 cubic ft.= 7.4 cubic yards
630 cubic inches
50 pounds covers 0.5 cubic feet. Since the depth is 3 inches, or 1/4 foot, you can cover 0.5/.25 = 2 square feet of area. That is not very much.
Four cubic yards will do it. You theoretically need only 3.7, but that assumes the area you're putting the sand in is perfectly level, flat and low-spot-free...and they never are.
Square yards is a measure of area, you need to purchase your sand as a volume not an area. You will need 2000 cubic feet of sand.
You need to mention how deep you want the sand to be
Convert the thickness to meters, then multiply base x area. Answer is in cubic meters. Alternately, you can also convert everything to decimeters first, or to centimeters.
