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.

all you need is "cubic feet"
by Anon » Mon Aug 06, 2007 9:59 pm
don't forget all the measurements need to be in the same units - and that 6 inches is 0.5 feet.
So, multiply 25 x 115 x 0.5, and you need 1437.5 cubic feet of sand.
25 x 38 x 0.5 = 475 cubic feet.
Now - when you go to the landscape supply place, they only sell it by the "yard" (cubic yard, that is.) A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet - so you need 53 yards for the first area, and 18 yards for the second (that's a lot of sand).
