This tool helps you calculate the amount of gravel you need for your project in yards.
How to Use the Gravel Calculator:
To calculate the weight of gravel needed for your project:
- Enter the length of the area in yards.
- Enter the width of the area in yards.
- Enter the desired depth in inches.
- Enter the density of gravel in pounds per cubic yard.
- Click the “Calculate” button.
This will display the estimated weight in metric tonnes.
How the Calculation Works:
The calculator works as follows:
- It converts the depth from inches to yards.
- It calculates the volume in cubic yards by multiplying length, width, and converted depth.
- It multiplies the volume by the density to get the weight in pounds.
- It converts the weight from pounds to metric tonnes.
Limitations:
While this calculator provides an estimate, actual weight can vary based on gravel type, compaction, and moisture content. Always consider these factors and consult with a professional for precise calculations.
