That's 13 cubic yards of mulch for every 2 inches deep.
About a 1,944 square foot area at 2" depth of mulch. Roughly equivalent to 12 parking spaces.
This question needs to give what dimension the 16 x 12 is. Is it feet yards or metres.
To calculate the volume of mulch needed, first convert the dimensions into cubic feet. The area of the playground is 125 feet × 60 feet = 7,500 square feet. With a depth of 6 inches (0.5 feet), the volume is 7,500 square feet × 0.5 feet = 3,750 cubic feet. Since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard, divide 3,750 by 27 to get approximately 138.89 cubic yards of mulch needed. Thus, you will need about 139 cubic yards of mulch.
133.3 cubic feet
(90-ft x 4-ft x 1/3-ft) = 120 cubic feet = 44/9 = 4.44 cubic yards (rounded)
The 'square feet' of area that it covers is 1,620/(depth of the mulch, in inches)
About a 1,944 square foot area at 2" depth of mulch. Roughly equivalent to 12 parking spaces.
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.
This question needs to give what dimension the 16 x 12 is. Is it feet yards or metres.
You will need at least 32 square yards of carpet to cover that area.
13.333 square yards.
A ruler or tape measure is the best unit to make the measurement with. Once you finish the measurement, you'll probably want it expressed in terms of cubic feet, to take to the garden shop and buy the bags of mulch.
At least 622.2 square yards of sod are needed to cover that area.
1 yard of mulch at 12 inches deep would cover 25 sq. ft., so for 400 square feet you would need 16 yards. 12 inches is the depth you need to start with because the mulch will settle.
133.3 cubic feet
25.33 yards
Well, gee, I think that would be 2 bags. But if you have found a bag that is 2 cubic yards, that is ONE HUGE BAG...Enough to fill the back of a pick-up truck. I think you better look into your phrasing, one cubic yard of mulch will cover 100 square feet, or an area that is 10' x 10'. IMPROVED ANSWER: I think you mean that 1 bag of mulch will cover 2 cubic feet. That's the standard bag sold at Lowes & Home Depot. 1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet (3'x3'x3'=27). Therefore 4 cubic yards is equal to 108 cubic feet. You would need 54 bags (108/2=54).
