This tool will help you quickly calculate how many cubic yards of gravel you need for your project.
How to Use the Gravel Cubic Yard Calculator
To use this calculator, please follow these steps:
- Enter the length of the area in feet.
- Enter the width of the area in feet.
- Enter the depth of the area in inches.
- Click the Calculate button to see the result.
How It Calculates the Results
This calculator determines the volume of gravel required in cubic yards by using the following formula:
(Length in feet) × (Width in feet) × (Depth in feet) / 27
The depth is first converted from inches to feet by dividing by 12. The total volume in cubic feet is then divided by 27 to convert it into cubic yards.
Limitations
- This calculator assumes all measurements are accurate and does not account for irregular areas or slopes.
- Ensure that all entries are numerical, as non-numerical inputs will result in an error alert.
