How much sand do you need to level an area of 500 sq ft 2inches in depth?

7996.634496 lbs of sand.

500 sq feet is measurement of area which gives no indication as to the shape.

For simplicity purposes we will assume the shape is a rectangle with the dimensions of 25 ft by 20 ft.

The depth is 2 inches so we need to convert our measurements.

25 ft = 300 in, 20 ft = 240 in, 2 in = 2 in.

Volume = 300*240*2 = 144000 cubic inches.

Converting cubic inches to feet: 144000 * .00057870 = 83.2896 cubic feet.

Now sand has an average of 96.01 pounds per cubic foot.

So 96.01*83.2896 = 7996.634496 lbs of sand.
