The volume of sand in a shovel can vary based on the size of the shovel and how full it is filled. A standard garden shovel typically holds about 1 to 2 quarts (or roughly 0.95 to 1.9 liters) of sand when filled level. However, larger or specialized shovels may hold more. For precise measurements, it's best to refer to the specific dimensions of the shovel being used.

How many shovels of sand in 1 yard?
The number of shovels of sand in one yard can vary depending on the size of the shovel and how tightly the sand is packed. However, a common estimate is that there are approximately 60 to 80 shovels of sand in a cubic yard, assuming a standard shovel size. It's important to note that this is a rough estimate and can differ based on individual shoveling techniques and the type of sand used.
What is the volume in cubic feet of a long handled shovel full of dirt?
1/3 cu ft
How many tons of sand to fill 24ft circle 4 inches deep?
For this, you can work out the volume of the cylinder of sand you need to fill. But you'll also need to know the density of the sand to convert this volume into weight.
How many shovelfuls of topsoil to a yard of topsoil?
A typical shovel holds about 1/2 cubic feet of soil. There are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard (commonly called a "yard"). Therefore, about 54 shovelfuls in a cubic yard.Note that the volume of a shovel will vary depending on its size and the stuff being shoveled. You can determine the volume of your shovel by experimenting with a 5-gallon pail (equal to about 5/8 of a cubic foot).
20ftx20ftx 6 area to cover in sand How much sand will it take and what is the formula for estimating sand coverage?
This is a volume calculation. I assume the dimension for the "6" is inches? If so, the volume= 20x20x0.5= 200 cubic ft.= 7.4 cubic yards
