How many square yards in one ton of sand?

Answer 1

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.
