Your patio is (8x8)/6in = 10.66 cubic foot. The sand comes in 50 lb bags that cover 0.5 cubic foot so you will need 21.33 bags (round up to 22 or down to 21)
4.4 bags for each 1-foot deep. 2.2 bags for each 6-inches deep. Each 5-ft3 bag will cover the area to 2.72 inches deep.
ABOUT 43 bags. Dry sand weighs ABOUT 100 lbs per cubic foot- and you need 21.3 cubic feet.
First you need know how much(in volume) the bag makes. Lets say a bag makes L cubic feet. where L is a whole number. 2 inches =1/6 ft volume of patio (assuming its a rectangular prism) is 10x16x(1/6) = 80/3 number of bags = (80/3)/L = 80/3L. * If this number isn't a whole number, round to the next whole number.
3 inches = 1/4 footVolume = 82 x 1/4 = 20.5 cubic feetIf you're buying 5-cubic-foot bags, then these are your choices:-- Buy 4 bags, and leave the job 2.5% incomplete. (Cover is only 2.93" deep, not 3".)-- Buy 5 bags, and use only 10% of the 5th one.-- Spread all 5 bags, and wind up with the 82 square feet covered 3.66 inches deep.
100 cubic foot bags.
That hole is 6 feet deep or 72 inches deep.
13 1/2 sf for 2 foot deep 27 sf for 1 foot deep 54 sf for 6 inches deep 108 sf for 3 inches deep
6 inches = 1/2 footVolume = (surface area) x (depth) = 450 x 1/2 = 225 cubic feet = 81/3 cubic yards.
80lb bags of what. you need to know the density of material working with.
An area 10 foot x 10 foot is 100 square feet. 100 cubic feet of sand would cover it with a one foot deep layer of sand. If the sand needs to be 6 inches deep, then 50 cubic feet are be needed, or 25 cubic feet if the sand is to be 3 inches thick.
A square foot is one foot wide. It is a measurement of area one foot wide by one foot deep. (1 foot x 1 foot) It could also be stated in inches, which would then be 12 inches x 12 inches.
