I think it is about 2750 lbs. a yrd.
I weighed a cup of sand which equalled 12.45 ounces (used 12.5 ounces for computing purposes). So, 1 gallon of sand (16 cups) equals 200 ounces or divided by 16 ounces/pound, equals 12.5 pounds/gallon.
They weigh the same as they did the first day on the sand.
A yard of sand weighs approximately 1.3 tons or 2600 pounds.

It depends on where the sand is located -- it's size, color and general composition.
About 2.0572 5-gallon buckets of sand in 1.6 cubic feet.
5 gallons = 1155 cubic inches = 0.6684 cubic footWe don't know the weight without more specific knowledge of the type of sand.
The specific gravity of sand is between 90-130 lbs/cubic foot. http://www.reade.com/Particle_Briefings/spec_gra2.html#S 5 US gallons = 0.668402778 cubic feet 90 * 0.66840277 = 60.15625002 130 * 0.668402778 = 86.89236114 So, a 5 gallon bucket will hold between 60 and 87 pounds of sand, depending on how much liquid is in the sand and if it is packed down.

It weighs 5 pounds:)
Anyone who has dug a shovelful of wet sand and a shovelful of dry sand will tell you that the wet sand is quite a bit heavier than the dry sand. Dry sand is composed of individual particles with air in the spaces between grains. When you add water to a bucket of dry sand, the water replaces the air. Although the bucket is already full of sand, you can pour in quite a bit of water, adding that much more weight. If you have a choice of which bucket to carry, pick the bucket of dry sand every time!
