Calculation Breakdown:
• Column diameter: 12 inches (1.00 ft)
• Column height: 96 inches (8.00 ft)
• Radius: 6.0 inches (0.500 ft)
• Volume: π × 0.500² × 8.00 = 6.28 ft³
• Cubic yards: 6.28 ft³ ÷ 27 = 0.233 yd³
• 80 lb bags: 6.28 ft³ ÷ 0.6 = 11 bags
• 60 lb bags: 6.28 ft³ ÷ 0.45 = 14 bags
💡 Pro Tip:
For round columns, use a cardboard tube form (Sonotube) for clean, professional results. Always add 5-10% extra concrete to account for spillage and ensure the column is completely filled to the top.
