How many yards of sand needed to cover 5000 sq feet 1 inch deep?

Answer 1

To calculate the amount of sand needed, first convert the depth from inches to feet. Since 1 inch is 1/12 of a foot, 1 inch deep over 5000 square feet equals 5000 sq ft × (1/12 ft) = 416.67 cubic feet. To convert cubic feet to cubic yards, divide by 27 (since there are 27 cubic feet in a cubic yard): 416.67 cubic feet ÷ 27 = approximately 15.43 cubic yards. Therefore, you would need about 15.43 yards of sand to cover 5000 square feet to a depth of 1 inch.
