How to Use the Calculator
- Enter the length and width of your turf roll in meters
- Input the thickness of the turf in centimeters (cm)
- The soil density is pre-set to 1500 kg/m³ (average soil density)
- Click the "Calculate" button to compute the volume, total weight, and weight per square meter
- For different soil types, adjust the density value accordingly
Understanding Turf Weight
The weight of a turf roll depends on three main factors:
- Length: The longer the turf, the heavier it will be
- Width: Wider turfs have greater surface area and thus more weight
- Thickness: Thicker turfs contain more soil and organic matter, increasing weight
Typical Turf Weight Range
Standard turf rolls typically weigh between 15-30 kg per square meter, depending on grass type, thickness, and soil composition. This calculator helps you determine the exact weight for your specific turf.
Practical Applications
This calculator is useful for:
- Planning logistics for turf delivery
- Ensuring vehicles have adequate capacity
- Preventing turf damage during transport
- Estimating material requirements for landscaping projects
