How many square inches does a 60 lb bag of sand cover?
The answer will depend on how deep a layer of sand.
How many square yards in one ton of sand?
That depends entirely on what kind of sand how deep you spread it. As an approximation, you could assume a bulk density for dry sand of about 110 lb/ft3. One ton (2000 lb) of sand would thus be about 18.18 ft3 or 0.673 yd3. If you spread it 6 inches deep you could cover about 4 square yards. At a foot deep, you would cover 2 square yards. At 3 inches deep you would cover 8 square yards. At 1 inch deep you would cover 24 square yards Reported bulk densities for sand range from 78 lb/ft3 for molding sand to 130 lb/ft3 for moist sand.
How many 50 lb bags of sand will you need for a 8 foot by 8 foot patio 2 in deep?
Your patio is (8x8)/6in = 10.66 cubic foot. The sand comes in 50 lb bags that cover 0.5 cubic foot so you will need 21.33 bags (round up to 22 or down to 21)
How much sand will you need to fill an area 16ft by 17 ft and 8 inches deep?
V = 16x17x8/12 = 181 1/3 cubic feet sand has a density of about 2.7, water weighs 62.4 lb/ft3 Wt = 2.7x62.4x(181 1/3 ) = 30551.04 pounds or about 15 1/4 tons of sand
How many 50 lb bags of sand do you need to cover a 18 foot diameter circle 3 to 4 inches deep?
Way to many. I think each bag does a cubic foot. It is much better to get masons sand delivered by dump truck if possible. Normally about $ 250 for this size pool. Roughly about 4 tons.
