One cubic yard of mulch will cover approximately 160 square feet at 2" deep, so you would need approximately two cubic yards of mulch to cover 271 square feet at 2" deep.
That's 13 cubic yards of mulch for every 2 inches deep.
multiply the number of square yards - which is an area - by the average height in yards to get the volume in cubic yards
The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 1,620/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
Square yards. Cubic measure is for volume
A measurement in square feet is a measurement of area, while a measurement in cubic yards is a measurement of volume. The two units are, therefore, incompatible.You can, however, convert between square feet and square yards, or cubic feet and cubic yards.
Square yards can't be converted to cubic feet. Square yards measure area, while cubic feet measure volume.
That makes no sense. -Square yards is AREA. -Cubic yards is VOLUME . They are totally different. (However, 3 yards cubed, i.e. 3 yards x 3 yards x 3 yards = 27 CUBIC yards)
This is not a valid conversion. Cubic meters is a measure of volume while square yards is a measure of area.
A cubic yard is a unit of volume. A square yard is a unit of area. The two units are therefore incompatible.
It depends on how thick you want to apply it.
It is impossible to express cubic feet as an area.
The area covered by one cubic yard of Mulch is dependant on the depth that themulch is applied. At 3" it covers 108 ft2, at one inch it covers over 300 ft2.The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 324/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
