If it's cubic yards here is an outstanding formula I have used many many times: V= H(A1+A2) divide by 54.. You take the area of the top+area of the bottom in sq. ft. times the height divide by 54, this figures in the slopes. For the OP working in metric I have no clue. For Scrub XXXX:D

Yair . . .

Dunno mate , , , some blokes reckon I'm an advocate for a certain kind of beer.

What happens is with this new format I open the site, go to new posts and it tells me (as above) DPete has posted.

I come here and I can't see the post until I submit a post myself . . . annoying but I get a good deal on x's. (grins)

Cheers.
