Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on convert-me.com FaceBook page
Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

Sandman:
Figured with that handle, you could tell us!! :D
Clean, damp sand weighs approximately 3200 pounds per bank cubic yard. You have space for close to 3 yards (80*1*1)/27=2.96 yd^3
3 yd^3 * 3200# = 9600# / 2000 = 4.8. You need approximately 5 tons.

Soozy:
You have a truck (or yard) that is 2000 sq long, 6" deep and maybe 4' wide?
If sq stands for foot, you either have a narrow yard almost 1/2 a mile long or one heck of a long truck! Don't try to drive it through a McDonalds drive thru!
A couple of questions.
1) OK, I get 6" deep and maybe 4' wide but what is 2000 sq long?
2) What type and size of rock?
