Tips for Accurate Measurements

Check the Unit of Measure

Always ensure that the dimensions entered are in the correct unit (feet or inches) as selected in the dropdown menus. A mix-up between these could lead to inaccurate calculations.

Measure Twice

For complex shapes, consider breaking them down into simpler shapes (e.g., dividing an irregular plot into rectangles and triangles) and then use the calculator for each section separately.

Depth Matters

The depth of the material significantly affects the total volume required. It’s essential to consult with a professional or refer to project guidelines to decide on the appropriate depth for your material layer.
