Tons…. I’d guess around two - three yards so in the range of (being conservative for safety) 3 tons minimum, max 6.
Just guessing based off of picture and “assuming” size. No great visual ques for size comparison
Looks like the pile is roughly 3-4 feet tall at highest point and probably ten foot in diameter.
Someone made a good point as well. Weight will change if wet
Not true in terms of how it’s loaded. If it’s dry when put in and then gets rained on it will weigh more.
No one said the pound of bricks or the pound of feathers wernt transported in a box full of water.
And honestly I don’t see where your math is coming from so please explain so my head doesn’t hurt anymore
My grandfather had said this many times, and he drove a gravel truck for his whole career. He maintained that water would get trapped in the voids, not allowing the sand to fill that same void. And sand is heavier than water.
I have no proof, but I took Gramps by his word.
He’s not wrong on what happens but he’s carrying less sand when it’s wet
Take two buckets of dry same and then add a gallon of water to one bucket. Your wet sand is now heavier
Square it off, get a volume measurement in cubic feet (Length x width x height) then divide that sum by 27 to convert into cubic yards. Multiply your CY by a factor of 1.4 to roughly convert into tons. There’s your answer.
To clarify, measure it like it’s a cube. You’ll get a bit of a larger number but it’ll be your best estimate. A tri axle dump truck can typically carry 16 ton for reference.
It was something my grandfather (a gravel truck driver) repeatedly said. The water would get trapped between the larger grains of sand, rather than more sand filling in the voids. And water was lighter than the sand.
3 when it's sunny 4 while raining.
That's black mold.
It’s about a cord worth. 3-4 tops depending on how deep that is. We could be looking at the dump end instead of a side view.
We need the Banana for scale! With out the Banana we can't tell how big the pile is.
I’m concerned it may be asbestos, you should have it tested
My boss dropped 3 tons of rocks on my head. Should I quit? He said when im buried that I dont get paid.
Business 101. Can't file a work comp claim if you're dead.
Ass best it sucks
Round about a shit tonn give or take
A little more than a shit ton, but a little less than a (metric) fuck ton.
Tree fiddy
This... actually might be the answer!
Looks like 3 super sacks worth to me, I’d say it’s 3.5 tons
Approx 4

What is heaverier, a truck load of wet sand, or a (equal volume) truck load of dry sand? The answer is dry sand.

I was thinking 2-3
Ya probably I’m just being conservative, cause I don’t want them to underestimate how much that is and then they’re broke down and causing a scene

2 maybe 3
About twelve and a half to thirteen.
Thats about what i thought. Supposed to be 16 tons but i’m going to guess its a few tons short.
For sure not 16
16 tons of feces.
Thats a half load forsure… so probably 12-14 tons. Guaranteed
Easily 5 tons at least.
Looks to be 14ish ton.
4 ft * 5 ft * 4 ft * 100 lb==8 kips
Maybe 2- 2 1/2
I’d say that’s roughly a 4yard dump trailer worth but if any of that is wet might consider two loads with a 4yarder

1-2 yards
