A:  Ask the pool manufacturer. If you want to take a run at the math, first calculate the square feet of the area of the space you need to cover. I am guessing you need it to be wider than the size of the pool. You can easily search on the internet for an area calculation formula for a circle. Once the area in square feet is calculated, multiply the area by the depth of sand you need. It is important that the depth is in feet and not inches. You must use the same units of measure for all dimensions. Now you have cubic feet of sand required. Divide the total cubic feet of sand by 0.5 to determine how many bags you need. Have two people double check all of your math. Once you see the total, getting a truckload of loose sand might be another option.

A:  give me the dimensions of what you want covered and how deep you want to put the play sand (e.g., 18'-0" x 5'-0" x 4" thick or 18'-0" diameter x 4" thick, etc.)

For example: it shows that if you have to fill a 5 ft x 10 ft area, with 3 inches of sand, you'll need 25 bags of sand for that sized project. Or you can use this formula (and remember to ROUND UP) AT THE END: EXAMPLE: A 5 FT X 10 FT AREA USING 1 INCH OF SAND IS CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS: 5 X 10 = 50 X 0.167 = 8.35 (SO WE ROUND 8.35 UP TO 9 AND YOU NEED 9 BAGS OF SAND!
