Sand volume calculator

Answers the question: How much sand do I need? How much sand do I need for the sandbox?

Use this sand calculator to find the sand's weight, volume, and cost. The calculator will also find the total area to cover with sand. We use 1.62 metric tons per cubic meter of sand as a baseline for our sand calculations.

Results

Sand volume that is needed: 4.8 cubic meters

Sand weight that is needed: 7776 kilograms

Total sand price: $ 240

Sand price per metric ton: $ 30.86

Area to be covered with sand: 32 square meters

This sand calculator is based on theoretical weights and is only a tool to provide an estimate. Due to the sand's granularity, there will always be variations between what is theoretical weight and the actual weight of the sand.
