Calculated result

44 bags

Per hole: 2.3562 cu ft

Total before allowance: 23.562 cu ft

Concrete with 10% allowance: 25.918 cu ft · 0.9599 cu yd

Bag yield entered: 0.6 cu ft

  1. 1. Radius = 12 in ÷ 24 = 0.5 ft; depth = 36 in ÷ 12 = 3 ft.
  2. 2. Cylinder volume per hole = π × r² × depth = 2.35619 cu ft.
  3. 3. Multiply by 10 holes and 10% allowance = 25.9181 cu ft; divide by bag yield and round up = 44 bags.
