Calculadora de Metros Cúbicos Online Grátis
Convert dimensions to cubic yards for bulk material ordering
The Cubic Yard Calculator converts length, width, and depth measurements into cubic yards — the standard unit for ordering bulk materials like concrete, topsoil, mulch, fill dirt, and gravel in the United States. Landscapers, contractors, and homeowners use it to match project dimensions to delivery truck loads and avoid under- or over-ordering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Sobre Esta Calculadora
One cubic yard equals 27 cubic feet — a conversion that seems simple but trips up anyone mixing feet and inches for length and depth. Entering depth in inches without converting to feet first produces an answer off by a factor of 12, which is a common and expensive mistake when ordering truckloads of material.
This calculator handles the inch-to-feet conversion internally, accepting length and width in feet, yards, or metres and depth in inches or centimetres, then outputting the final volume in cubic yards, cubic feet, and cubic metres simultaneously. It also estimates the weight of common materials at that volume for truck capacity planning.
Landscaping projects — topsoil for lawns, mulch for garden beds, fill dirt for levelling — are typically quoted in cubic yards. Ready-mix concrete trucks carry 8–10 cubic yards; a typical landscaping delivery truck carries 1–3 cubic yards. Knowing your required volume in cubic yards first makes it straightforward to plan how many deliveries you need.

Exemplo Resolvido
Cubic yards of topsoil needed for a raised garden bed
Entradas:
- Length: 12 feet
- Width: 4 feet
- Depth: 8 inches (0.667 feet)
Passo a Passo:
- Volume in cubic feet: 12 × 4 × 0.667 = 32 ft³
- Convert to cubic yards: 32 ÷ 27 = 1.185 yd³
- Add 10% for settling: 1.185 × 1.10 = 1.30 yd³
- 1 cubic yard of topsoil ≈ 2,000 lbs (≈ 900 kg)
- Approximate weight: 1.30 × 2,000 = 2,600 lbs
