Length x Width = Square Feet
Square Feet ÷ "X" = Cubic Yards (to find "X," match depth with number at right)
To convert Cubic Yards to Tons*: Cubic Yards x 1.4 = Tons
To convert Tons to Cubic Yards*: Tons ÷ 1.4 = Cubic Yards
| * | 1.4 is a rule of thumb that will work for most sand and gravel products (1 yard = 2,800#). Some products such as soils and mixes may vary due to their different bulk densities (weight per cu. yd). |
|---|
| Example 1: | 2,000 Square Ft. bunker at 6" deep 2,000 ÷ 54 = 37 Cubic Yards Bunker Sand 37 x 1.4 = 52 Tons |
|---|---|
| Example 2: | To cover cart path 1,200' x
4' x 3" deep 1,200 x 4 = 4,800 square feet 4,800 ÷ 108 = 44.5 cubic yards gravel 44.5 x 1.4 = 63 tons |
