That is about right, I put 3 1/4 yards of concrete in a 16' pit. So what I need is 122 bags of sack crete less water. Total wieght is about 5 ton's.

Anybody not doing anything and want to load and unload sack crete just give me a call!!!

Thanks fellows!

Jeff, I'm no physicist either, just a buyer for a garbage company (no, I don't buy trash I buy hydraulics) I was a math major for two semesters though, but I forgot most of what I learned. I did say I made a lot of assumptions, and everybody knows what those do, haha.

Glad somebody was able to get Delta Duck sunk, thanks Black Lab and JeffB, I was starting to get a headache [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img] . I still think he shoulda tried the wings along with some tie downs.

Wingman, no thanks I like to shoot ducks not rockets [img]images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif[/img].

Now, since we helped Delta Duck with the measurements (or at least tried to) I think he needs to post some pics of this deal, maybe some directions to it too...j/k about the directions [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img].

You will have to ask Gulfcoast about the directions.

I already new that it took X amount of concrete at 13" deep would hold a tank down. I just got lucky because that much concrete gives a good floor. I never knew how to figure why it took X amount of concrete. I knew ya'll could figure out why.

So far as wings, I developed the wings you see on the pits built these days. About 8 years ago I was buying the pits and having them delivered to my machine shop and having wings added. I should have had it patented. I told Kurc Pits and blinds what I was adding they drove over and looked. Now all metal pits are made with the wings. Tony Kurc was the first to do it for the public.

Hey Deltaduck, we are currently building a new administration building for the bank. There is a pallet of mortar mix that has been wet and cna't be used. Probably fifty bags that are going to be canned.

e-mail me asap though I think they rented a forklift today to clean up the material storage area.
