The weight of sand can vary depending on its moisture content and composition, but on average, one cubic yard of sand weighs about 1.3 tons. A standard wheelbarrow typically holds about 2 to 3 cubic feet of material. To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27. Therefore, it would take roughly 14 to 21 wheelbarrows of sand to equal 1 ton.
