Bags of Play Sand

The Bags of Play Sand calculator computes how many bags of sand will be needed for the specified volume (V).  

INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:

• (V) Total Volume of Play Sand

Bags of Play Sand (B): The calculator returns the number of .5 ft³ bags of sand equals the input volume (V).

The Math / Science

The number is equal to twice the number of cubic feet.  That's because most commercially sold bags of play sand are are 50lb bags and approximately  0.5 ft³ .
