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.

Setting up a pool
by Angie » Mon Apr 21, 2008 8:39 am
Hello, I have been trying to figure this out with no luck. I am setting up a pool which is 15 ft round. I need to put 2 inches of sand in the bottom of it. How can I figure out or if someone already knows the answer, I am trying to figure how much sand I am going to need. Thanks, Angie

Is 15 foot the diameter? I'm assuming so.
The area is (pi/4)*15 ft x 15 ft = 177 ft²
2 inches is 1/6 ft, so volume of sand is about 30 ft³. This is about 3000 lb.
Unfortunately, that is a small amount for truck delivery and a large amount to but in bags.
