To determine how many bags of sand are needed to make 1 cubic yard, you first need to know the size of the sand bag. A standard bag of sand typically contains 0.5 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, you would need 54 bags of sand (27 cubic feet divided by 0.5 cubic feet per bag) to make 1 cubic yard.
You need10.8/(the number of cubic feet of sand in each bag) bags.
1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet
20 lbs takes us 0.2 cubic feet; a yard is 27 cubic feet; that would take 27/.2 = 135 bags. That is a lot of bags, with total weight of 2700 pounds
