You cannot directly convert cubic yards to square yards because they measure different things: volume vs. area. Cubic yards measure volume, while square yards measure area. To find how many square yards cover the same area as a cubic yard of gravel, you would need to know the thickness or depth of the gravel layer.
It would obviously depend on how thickly you wanted to cover the surface, and how 'tall' a single unit of pea gravel was. You would need 736 bags per foot depth.
The volume that needs to be filled is 132ft * 1.5in = 132ft*(1.5/12)ft=132ft*0.125ft=16.5 cubic feet of gravel needed. ---- 1 cubic foot is 1,728 cubic inches (12 in x 12 in x 12 in) The area described above is 28,512 cubic inches divided by 1,728 cubic inches or 16.5 cubic feet
You would need 7.2 cubic yards of gravel to cover an area that requires that volume of material. It's crucial to ensure that you acquire the right amount to prevent any shortage or surplus during your project.
Gravel is bought in cubic quantities, or by weight. You ask "to fill" but you only give a square measure. The volume of gravel required wil depends on the depth you wish the gravel to be. To fill 81 square metres to a depth of 5 cm would require 4.05 cubic metres of material.
A: One cubic foot. That would be 0.037 cubic yard (rounded)
First, find the total square footage of your driveway. You can find this by multiplying the length of the driveway by the width of the driveway. When you have determined the square footage, you need to decide how thick you will apply the gravel. At a depth of 1", 1 cubic yard of gravel will cover 320 square feet. So for example, if you would like to put down 3 inches of material over 1000 square feet, you would do the following. 1000 square ft./320 = 3.125 3.125*3" depth = 9.375 yards
Depends on the depth of the gravel also. If depth is "D" feet then volume required is 62 x D cubic feet. Since each bag has 5 cubic feet you would need (60 x D)/5 bags (round it up to next higher number (as most shops won't sell you fractions of a bag).
You would need approximately 2.5 cubic yards of gravel to cover a 12' by 15' area at a depth of 2 inches.
Area is 170 square feet. Depth is 6 inches or 1/2 foot, so volume to be filled is 170 x 1/2 = 85 cubic feet. Each bag has 5 cubic feet of gravel, so you would need 85/5 = 17 bags
I think you mean 6 inches thick, not 6 feet thick. You would need 200 cubic feet, or 7.4 cubic yards.
