Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

don't forget all the measurements need to be in the same units - and that 6 inches is 0.5 feet.
So, multiply 25 x 115 x 0.5, and you need 1437.5 cubic feet of sand.
25 x 38 x 0.5 = 475 cubic feet.
Now - when you go to the landscape supply place, they only sell it by the "yard" (cubic yard, that is.) A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet - so you need 53 yards for the first area, and 18 yards for the second (that's a lot of sand).
