16 tons of dry sand occupies approximately 320 cubic feet of volume.
An 8-foot wide by 90-foot long by 8-inch depth requires a minimum of 2,565.5 cubic yards (22.8 tons) of gravel.
The weight of gravel can vary depending on its type and moisture content, but a common estimate is that one cubic yard of gravel weighs about 1.5 tons. Therefore, 3,000 yards of gravel would weigh approximately 4,500 tons (3,000 yards × 1.5 tons per yard). Always check the specific weight for the type of gravel being used for a more accurate calculation.
To convert 12,714 square feet of gravel to tons, you first need to determine the depth of the gravel layer in feet. Typically, gravel weighs about 1.5 tons per cubic yard. Once you have the depth, calculate the volume in cubic yards (square footage multiplied by depth in feet, divided by 27). Finally, multiply the volume in cubic yards by the weight of gravel per cubic yard to find the total weight in tons.

To cover 958 square feet with 3 inches of pea gravel, you first need to convert the thickness to feet, which is 0.25 feet. The volume needed is 958 sq ft × 0.25 ft = 239.5 cubic feet. Since there are approximately 0.67 cubic yards in a cubic foot, you convert to cubic yards: 239.5 cubic feet ÷ 27 = about 8.86 cubic yards. Given that pea gravel weighs about 1.5 tons per cubic yard, you would need approximately 13.3 tons of pea gravel.
You will need 20 cubic yards or 25.7 tons of gravel.

To determine how many tons of gravel are needed to cover an area of 95 by 45 feet, you'll first need to calculate the area in square feet, which is 4,275 square feet (95 x 45). If you want a certain depth of gravel, convert that depth into feet and multiply it by the area to get the volume in cubic feet. Then, convert cubic feet to cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet) and finally, use the density of gravel (approximately 1.5 tons per cubic yard) to find the total weight in tons. For example, if you want a 3-inch depth, you would need about 5.9 tons of gravel.
Approximately 24.7 cubic yards or 31.7 tons of gravel.
You will need 65.93 cubic yards or 84.6 tons of gravel.

Plan on about 2.2 cubic yards (2.8 tons) of gravel.
