Clingmans Dome is the most accessible mountain top in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The 7-mile (11 km) Clingmans Dome Road, which is open annually from April 1 through November 30, begins just past Newfound Gap and leads up the mountain to the Forney Ridge Parking Area, 300 feet (91 m) below the summit.
Area Calculator. We sell all of our online materials by the cubic yard. A cubic yard is equal to 27 cubic feet. You can use the online calculator to determine how many cubic yards of material are required. As a general guide, 1 cubic yard of aggregate, sand, or dirt is equivalent to 1.5 tons.
Example: 10 x 10 = 100 Sq. Ft. SQUARE FT. X DEPTH = CUBIC FT. Example: 100 x .5 (OR 6 INCHES) = 50 Cubic Ft. CUBIC FT. DIVIDED BY 27 = CUBIC YARDS. Example: 50 divided by 27 = 1.852 Cubic Yards. CUBIC YARDS X 1.35 = TONS. Example: 1.852 Cubic Yards x 1.35 = 2.501 Tons 1.35 works for most aggregate. For dirt use 1.45 to convert to tons. Compacted Tons 2.501 X 1.33 = 3.327 Tons What we find here is that in a 10 by 10 area, going 6 inches deep we would need 3.327 ton of aggregate after compaction. River Rock / Decorative Rock
