Calculate how much sand you need for a concrete mix, mortar bed, or general fill/base layer — in volume and weight.
A ton of sand at 2 inches deep covers roughly 80–100 sq ft, though this varies with the sand's density and how tightly it's compacted.
Not always — concrete typically needs coarser, well-graded sand, while builder's/plastering sand is finer. Ask your supplier for 'concrete sand' specifically for structural pours.
Multiply the volume in cubic metres by the sand's density (commonly ~1600 kg/m³ dry) to get the weight in kilograms.
