I need to fill a portable basketball goal. It holds 40 gallons of space. Home Depot sells sand in 70lb bags. I was just gonna buy about 3 bags and hope that was enough. Anything more specific for me?
Thanks

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

40 gallons is approximately 0.2 yd³
Dry sand is about 2700 lb/yd³ so you probably need about 540 pounds.
Can you also fill with water? That would be about 330 lb.
