if your going to buy two bags grab one more.. just make sure you can take it back if you don't use it. much better to return a bag then have to run buy another one at the last min.

Addition is math yes

Besides that this is great advice, I cant tell you how many times Ive had to run to a LFS for a wee bit more of something. Or better yet Home depot for one more 90 degree PVC joint.

yes it is math but pointless math or if you rather entertaining math..... hence bar tricks. and in no way did that bar trick formulae relate to the question posed by the OP.

really... come on now.. the math was already done and it was determined that about 2 bags should do it.. I said buy 3 just incase...

if we really wanted to we could have got a random sample of the sand he was planning on using, taken an average crossection volume then applied that to the volume to be filled.. but why.. so we could give a bag count to three decimal places.. get real and get over that not everybody things bar math is entertaining.
