The density of sand depends not only on how fine the particles are but also on how tightly one packs the sand. Meaning, sand poured into a bucket will have a smaller density than sand packed into the same bucket.



That said, loose sand has a density1 around 90lb/ft3, which corresponds to 1.67ft3 weighing 150lb. Packed sand is in the range of 100lb/ft3-110lb/ft3; which corresponds to 1.36ft3-1.5ft3 weighing 150lb.


As you can see the range varies; I would look into the density (in lbs/ft3) of the sand you are interested in purchasing and calculate the necessary volume.


150lbs/density=volume.
