Litter Depth Chart - How much shavings do I need?

[Intheswamp]

Thinking about how much litter I would need for a coop that I haven't precisely figured the size of I decided to make a small spreadsheet that ended up going a little beyond what I needed. I figured some of ya'll might could use it for a rough idea of your litter needs per your coop size. Hope it helps somebody,...and hope I didn't make an error!

Enjoy,
Ed

Nice chart surprising how many folks can't calculate cubic measurements. This make is simple.

I didnt check your figures but betting you are on the money

greathorse, yelp, figuring cubic feet isn't too much trouble. I was wanting to be able to compare side-by-side what the different depths and square footages would call for in regards to litter. I actually was just interested in 8x12 and 10x16 sizes, but guess I got kinda carried away.

jerseygirl1, you're very welcome.

Take care,
Ed

Bookmarked!

Excellent tool! This also works well for calculating a volume of sand or gravel to fill your run...

Ya'll welcome, it's just a little payback for all the help I've gotten from BYC....pass it on.
