How this works and common questions

About this tool

Volume is length times width times depth. The main figure is always cubic metres. Cubic feet and cubic yards sit beside it. Tonnes appear only when you type a density.

How it works

Length, width, and depth are multiplied. Feet are converted with 1 foot = 0.3048 metres exactly. Tonnes are cubic metres times the density you type.

Rules

This is a ballpark volume, not a delivery order. Check it before you buy. A blank density leaves tonnes off. Zero depth gives zero volume.

Questions

Do I have to enter a density?

No. Leave density blank and the tool shows volume only. Tonnes appear only from the density you type.

Which figure should I order from?

The main figure is cubic metres. Cubic feet and cubic yards are beside it. Check the number before you buy.

Does this include waste or compaction?

No. It is the rectangular volume only. Add any extra you want before you order.
