See detailsDoes this tell me what depth to use?
No. Depth depends on the equipment height and the product. Use the depth the manufacturer recommends for your equipment and ask us to confirm.
Why add a settling allowance?
Loose-fill surfacing compacts and scatters, so most people order a little extra.
Does it include a price?
No. It only calculates quantity. We give you a written estimate after a visit.
