The number of shovels of sand in a wheelbarrow can vary depending on the size of the shovel and the size of the wheelbarrow. On average, a standard wheelbarrow can hold about 6-8 shovels of sand. It is important to consider the volume of the shovel and the wheelbarrow to determine the exact number of shovels needed to fill it.
It would depend on the size of the shovel, but on average, a 25kg bag of soft sand would fill around 4-5 medium-sized shovels.
