Rock Coverage Calculator

Calculate Rock Coverage





Formula

To calculate the volume and weight of rock needed:

Volume (ft³) = Length (ft) × Width (ft) × Depth (ft)

Weight (lbs) = Volume (ft³) × Density (lbs/ft³)

What is Rock Coverage?

Rock coverage refers to the amount of rock needed to cover a specific area to a certain depth. It is commonly used in landscaping and construction projects[^1^][^2^].

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Depth in feet = 2 / 12 = 0.167 ft

Volume = 10 × 5 × 0.167 = 8.35 ft³

Weight = 8.35 × 100 = 835 lbs

The volume of rock needed is 8.35 cubic feet, and the weight is 835 lbs.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

Depth in feet = 3 / 12 = 0.25 ft

Volume = 20 × 10 × 0.25 = 50 ft³

Weight = 50 × 100 = 5000 lbs

The volume of rock needed is 50 cubic feet, and the weight is 5000 lbs.
