I am building a wall 32’ long by 40″ high. The method for figuring is as follows: Length x width x height = cubic ft of rock 32’ x 3’ x 3.33’ = 319.68 cu. Ft. (which of course can be converted to tons if necessary @ 125 lbs per cu. Ft.) Density of rock may vary by size and region. Check with your local rock supplier. The cores of the blocks contain: GeoStone Standard 8″x18″x12″ = ½ cubic ft.
