For example, if the width is 2m and the length is 5m, then your surface would be 10 square meters. Enter those figures here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2) Find out what size (diameter) you require your pea gravel to be and enter it into the &#8220;Size&#8221; box below. Generally, we&#8217;d recommend 1\/4&#8243; (6mm), but 1\/8&#8243; (3mm) will also work. Enter the size of your required pea gravel:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3) If you want to know how much 1 cubic meter of material weighs then enter that figure here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4) Press the calculate button and we&#8217;ll tell you how many liters of pea gravel you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5) Finally, we&#8217;ll give you some price information. We won&#8217;t include freight or delivery costs because these vary too much depending on where you live. Instead, we list the cost per unit (i.e., per liter).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the measurements you provide, you can work out the area and volume of the required pea gravel using the formulae detailed
