U need between 9 and 10 Trucks. It's because of d density of d sand and other factors like

a) block design
b) sand loss due to loading and offloading
c) human errors etc

Will snap and send u d calculation, can't type it here.

Here is d calculation. I'm a Civil Engineer
Hope it helps.

Please,how many blocks do I need to fence 2 acres of land,50 by 100 per plot? If possible sharp sand and cement that will be required ?

Thank you very much. God bless you Sir for this insight

I will send u d breakdown calculations. 1 acre of 50x100ft is 8 plots. So for 2 acres it is 16 plots.. I will convert d feet to metres , find d total length and width (perimeter) of d land, find d length of each 6 inches block to know how many that will occupy d space, find d numbers of block in each column i.e pillar, find d mortar space (space between 2 blocks). Then subtract it from d total perimeter of d land.

From d total numbers of block and mortar, we can easily get our cement and sand. Just like I did up dere...

Will upload d calculations here, but gonna make some assumptions, cos work men don't really follow standard.

Just rough estimate will be okay.Your location,please.
