Ten Yard Dump body.
I'm thinking yard by yard by yard - 10 in each direction
cubic yards. But 10 piles of one cubic yard. not 10x10x10.
That's cubic yards. 27 cubic feet. At a depth of 4" thats 810 sq feet of coverage.
10 cubic yards of dirt.
One cubic yard is 3 feet by 3 feet by 3 feet = 27 cubic feet.
Ten yards of dirt would be 270 cubic feet of topsoil.
If it's a nursery, they usually mean cubic. An 8' bed of a pickup is about 2 yds, and that is cubic. Hope this helps a little.
Ten Yard Dump body.
It's typically 2" for depth and 3x3 yards (or 9.??? x 9.??? ft.) I get a 4 yards of mulch every year and this means I can cover a an area 15.5' X 15.5' to a depth of 2".
I am pretty sure he is referring to a quanty of 10 1 yard cubes of dirt, which is how they measure concrete. So the size of the actual cube would be the cube root of 10 or 2.1544 yard or 77.55 inch cube. What is more practical though is to know what size area you plan to spread it and then determine how many inches of soil that is.
1 yard = a cube 3 foot by 3 foot by 3 foot
which = 27 cubic feet
so 10 yards would = 270 cubic feet
which would cover an area of 270 square feet 1 foot in depth
or at only half that depth twice the area (540 sqft)
540 sqft would be a 23ft by 23ft area (approx)
some allowance should be made for the settling as dirt is delivered in a loose state
Would you like an acre of water to go with that 10 yards of topsoil?
Its cubic yards.
You can get any amount, but a short load is going to cost more per yard, as you are mainly paying for the haul.
It's HUGH!
That's an entire weekend of shoveling and wheelbarrowing. And you'll be sore until Tuesday.
I bought a half yard of gravel the other day. It was one bulldozer scoop's worth, cost 14 dollars.
I can never keep them cubits straight either. Ended my boat building career it did...;)
