How many yards of sand do I need to cover 600 sq feet to a depth of 3 inches?
Question:
Answers:
I would get 6 1/2 cubic yards of sand
You need 5.5 - 6 yards.
600 sq feet at a depth of 3 inches requires 150 ft^3 of sand.
A yard is 27 ft^3 a single ft^3 will cover 4 square feet.
So you need 5.56 yards. I would get an extra 20% to allow for compaction.
3 inches=0.25 feet
0.25x600=150 cubic feet
1 cubic yard equals 3x3x3=27 cubic feet
150 cubic feet divided by 27 = 5.6 cubic yards
