For a Slab:
For pouring a slab you will have to figure the square footage of the area you need to fill. Square foot is the (length x width) = Square Foot. Now that the square foot is determined look below at the depth and divide by the square feet covered by a yard.
| Depth | | Depth |
| 4" | 80 Sq Ft. |
10" | 32 Sq FT |
|
| 6" | 54 Sq Ft |
12" | 27 Sq Ft |

Number of Lineal Feet 1 Yard will cover at 24" Deep or 42" Deep
| Width | at 24 " Deep | | Width | at 42" Deep |
| 4" | 40 Linear Ft | 4" | 23 Linear Ft | |
| 6" | 27 Linear Ft | 6" | 15 Linear Ft | |
| 8" | 20 Linear Ft | 8" | 11 Liear Ft | |
| 10" | 16 Linear FT | 10" | 9 Linear Ft | |
| 12" | 13 Linear Ft | 12" | 7 Lnear Ft |
