Hole Volume Calculator

Concrete needed to fill round post holes.

Concrete volume 0.0327
Volume 0.0012
60 lb bags (bags) 1

Formula: volume = π (diameter/2)² × depth × holes

Step-by-step with your numbers:
1. Values used:
2. Hole diameter = 1
3. Hole depth = 1
4. Number of holes = 6
5.
6. Concrete volume = 0.0327
7. Volume = 0.0012
8. 60 lb bags = Hole diameter x Hole depth = 1 x 1 = 1bags
Did we solve your problem today?

Estimate concrete to set fence or deck posts in round holes.

The math behind it

Each hole is a cylinder: π × radius² × depth; multiply by the number of holes.

Worked example

6 holes, 10 in across, 3 ft deep → ~9.8 ft³.
