This sand reference table shows the sand required for a range of length values, assuming a width of 4 m, a depth of 0.05 m and a sand density of 1.6 t/m³. Every figure is computed with the same engine that powers our Sand Calculator, so the numbers are exact.
| Length | Sand required | Volume |
|---|---|---|
| 1.3 m | 0.42 | 0.260 |
| 2.5 m | 0.80 | 0.500 |
| 3.8 m | 1.22 | 0.760 |
| 5 m | 1.60 | 1.000 |
| 7.5 m | 2.40 | 1.500 |
| 10 m | 3.20 | 2.000 |
| 15 m | 4.80 | 3.000 |
| 25 m | 8.00 | 5.000 |
| 35 m | 11.20 | 7.000 |
| 50 m | 16.00 | 10.000 |
How to use this table
Find the row closest to your length and read across to the sand required. For a value between two rows, the real figure sits between them — or enter your exact numbers in the Sand Calculator for a precise answer.
