Hi, could someone help me figure out how much sand I need? Perhaps you could also give the formula on how to calculate it?

I"ve got an area of 100" X 200" that needs 4" to 6" of sand, give or take. I"d like to know how many tons I need. Thanks for any help.

Old was partically right. It is 37 cubic yds, not 37 loads @ 10 cu.yds. each.

So Blackhole49, we now have 4x10 cubic yard dump-truckloads to do the job? 37 cubic yards will cover about 220 square yards with 6 inches (each yard cubed will cover 6 square yards?) So 33 yards by 66 yards = 220? I think not! = 2200. We are talking about half an acre here, not a sand pit for the kids!
Old was close - about 50% too much if 4" was achieved and about the same error again if loads were on his top size, so actual "Old" loads could be as low as 16, but.....

Is that 100X200 feet? and 6 inchs thick. If so you used the wrong things on the feet should be ' not " but any how. Well if I figured that right which I may not have that would be 370 cubic yards of sand. So that would be about 37 tandem axle dump truck loads. But as I said I'm not sure I figured that right.

The way I figured that by the way was to mutiply the 100X 200X.5 and then devide that by 27 which is how many cubic feet in a yard. The common dump truck hauls 10-15 cubic yards so thats how I came up with 37 loads figureing on the smallest truck load. As I said I'm not sure I'm right been to long ago since I took a math class.. LOL

Old,
You are right on the money. At 4", you would need 222.2 yds., 6", you would need 370 yds.

10 yds. of wet sand will make 14-15 tons, so for 4", it would take about 330 tons, 6" about 550 tons. In my area of MO, sand will cost $11-14 per ton, so I would probably go with 4" figure. 4" of sand in that size area will cost you about $4000.00, and that doesn't include the hauling.

Hope this helps,
Dale(MO)

If 4 inches would take 222 yards then 6 inches should be 333 yards. Not 370.

Last load of snad I got cost me $100 but the trucker was a friend. If it had been just any trucker it probably would have cost more like $150. I'm also in Missouri

In Illinois on that size of a job we try to use semi loads. They can scale about 22 ton per load,and are pretty close in price to tandem loads ussually 16 tons. In Missouri you might not
have the weight restrictions we have so the semi loads could haul more yet. Carl
