Questions & Answers
How many cu. ft. comes in $46.89 bag? It’s confusing because next to the price shows (bag 3.91 cu. ft.)
It covers 0.4 cu. ft. What is the size of your project? I can help calculate the bags needed.
I need to purchase enough of the stone product to cover 138 square feet and I'm fine with 2"-3" of depth for the work site. Home Depot is estimating I'd need four bags to handle this job. I'm skeptical of that. Any input on how many bags I'd need?
You will need approximately 64 bags
Is the black slate really black or more on the grey side?
Black slate is a medium gray tone slate with black or darker gray stripes. It is a medium- to heavy-textured slate.
will the color fade after a while
These stones are natural and made fade over time due to rain or un exposure.
Spray them with clean coat matte paint. Then they wont fade.
Is this aquarium safe?
These stones are naturally source and aquarium safe. We recommend rising the stones off with plain water to remove any dust prior to use.
Do these heat up in the sun? I have a dog and want to make sure she wouldnt burn her paws on a hot Oklahoma summer day. The area I want them for does get a lot of sunlight.
Natural stones can absorb, store, and radiate heat.
