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 do you measure square yards of sand?
Square yards would be a surface area measurement (3ft x 3ft), to measure surface area of a flat surface measure the length and width (in yards) then simply the two together .for example 5yards x 2 yards = 10 square yards=10 yards2To measure the surface area of a nonuniform surface you would need very specific tools and programs, that are not easily available.Measuring the square yards of sand is very unusual and what you may mean is "how do I measure cubic yards of sand?"
How much sand is needed to cover 18 ft x18 ft at 2 inches deep?
18 ft * 18 ft * 2 inches = 6 yards * 6 yards * 2/36 yards = 2 cubic yards.
How much sand is needed to cover 300 square feet 2 inch deep?
1.85 cubic yards.
How many bags of 60 pound bags sand need for 4 yards?
To determine how many 60-pound bags of sand are needed for 4 yards, first convert yards to pounds. One cubic yard of sand weighs approximately 1,000 to 1,200 pounds, depending on the type of sand. Assuming an average weight of 1,000 pounds per yard, 4 yards would weigh around 4,000 pounds. Dividing 4,000 pounds by 60 pounds per bag gives you about 67 bags of sand needed.
