Sand Calculator
Use this tool to calculate how much sharp sand you need for your project.
Use this calculator to determine how much sharp sand you need to order for your driveway, parking space or pathway. It can be used to help you order the correct amount.
It takes into account how wide, long and deep your new sand layer is. If you're using IBRAN-X grids to reinforce your surfacing, you will need a 10mm "screeded" layer of sand across the top of your sub base to ensure the ground is level.
How to calculate how much sharp sand you need
This sub base calculator allows you to calculate how much sharp sand you need for your surface based on the length, width and depth of your installation and the approximate density of available sharp sand.
The formula for this is:
Length (m) x Width (m) x Depth (m) x Density (1700kg/m2)
Our calculations are based on the approximate density of sharp sand:
| Material | Density |
|---|---|
| Sharp Sand | 1700kg/m2 |
