How much gravel for a 6 x 0.5 m border?
A starting estimate for a 6 x 0.5 m border at 4 cm finished depth.
Estimated result
Pre-calculated from the example inputs below. Adjust them in the calculator for your own numbers.
- Volume
- 0.12 m3 (0.16 yd3)
- Weight
- 0.21 t (0.23 US tons)
- Bag count
- 11 x 20 kg bags
A 6 x 0.5 m decorative border at 4 cm finished depth needs the volume and bag count shown below. Borders are small jobs where counting bags is usually simplest.
Example inputs used
- Length: 6
- Width: 0.5
- Depth: 4
- Aggregate density: 1.6
- Bag size: 20
These are starting values for this example. Measure or confirm your own figures, then open them in the gravel calculator.
Assumptions and limits
- Uses a typical decorative gravel density of 1.6 t/m3.
- Includes a 10% waste and settling allowance.
- Measure irregular borders in sections and add them together.
This is an estimate. Site conditions, compaction, and aggregate type can change the final quantity.
