Weight Per Yard
Looking to pick up your own materials and want to know the weight?
The chart below will give you a rough estimate of the weight.
Due to the moisture content of materials, the products’ weight will vary.
We can load in ¼ yard increments: $10 minimum for quarter yard
To calculate yardage:
Length x Width x Depth = Cubic Feet
Divide by 27 (27 cubic feet in a yard) = Cubic Yards
Depth Conversion to Feet
1" = .08 | 7" = .58 |
2" = .18 | 8" = .67 |
3" = .25 | 9" = .75 |
4" = .33 | 10" = .83 |
5" = .41 | 11" = .92 |
6" = .50 | 12" = 1.0 |
