How much stone do I need?
How much stone do I need for the ground?
For pebble and gravel:
• approximately 80kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.*For particle sizes >32mm, a thicker layer is required.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = 0.625m³.
• Coverage: approximately 12.5m² with a 5 cm layer.
For pine bark:
• approximately 70L per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000L = approximately 1m³ = approximately 600kg
• Coverage: approximately 14m² with a 5 cm layer.
For volcanic, slate and chamotte:
• approximately 50kg per m², based on a 5cm layer.
• Consumption per sack: 1000kg = approximately 1m³
• Coverage: approximately 20m² with a 5 cm layer
How much stone do I need to fill a gabion?
Density of approximately 1,650kg per 1m³.
The calculation is very easy to understand with an example: if you have a gabion of 100x50x30 cm, you must do the following calculations:
1x0.5x0.3 = 0.15m³
0.15x1,650 = 247.50kg of stone.
*It is always a good idea to calculate an extra 5%, since when gabions are filled they expand a little and a little more stone always fits than in the theoretical calculations.
Clarifications
ATTENTION!
The grain sizes of GRAVELS AND pebbles are sieve sizes
The actual sizes may vary slightly, since when talking about, for example, 60-80mm stone, it means that the stones pass through an 80x80mm square mesh and do not pass through a 60x60mm one.
Through that 80x80 mesh, a stone 100mm long and 65mm wide can pass, so there may be a percentage of stones larger than 80 and smaller than 60mm.
Breakage of pebbles
On the other hand, in pebbles larger than 60mm, there is a percentage of up to 10% of stones that can break during sorting, washing, loading and unloading; to this day we do not have machinery that prevents such breakages.
In the photos you can see, only real products are shown; broken pieces have not been removed.
Dust and sand in the products
This product is not washed, so it contains dust, sand and even traces of other products due to processing and transport. This is not a problem when using it; the stone will wash itself over time or you can pour water on it before using it.
Reptile decorative substrate saw inhabitants
He Decorative substrate for reptiles saw inhabitants It is perfect to create a natural and functional environment in your terrarium, replicating desert or savanna landscapes that your reptiles need to prosper. This substrate not only fulfills a decorative purpose, but also plays a crucial role in determining the terrarium microclimate, promoting the well -being of your pets.
Characteristics and benefits:
-
Create natural landscapes:
- Versatility: It allows you to design wet and fresh burrows, as well as high areas so that your reptiles can be struck. It is easy to shape naturalistic hills, burrows and gallery platforms, ensuring that the substrate maintains its shape while allowing reptiles to exhibit their natural excavation behavior.
-
Optimal microclimate:
- Hydration: Fresh-boiler burrows allow reptiles to absorb the necessary moisture through their skin during sleep or when they hide, helping to maintain their hydration.
- Thermoregulation: The warmer high areas help reptiles to regulate their body temperature, offering several essential temperature gradients for their health.
-
NATURAL MATERIALS:
- Composition: Our substrate imitates the natural soil found in arid deserts or in the regions of Sabana. It is composed of a mixture of sand, broken granite and clay, resulting in interesting and colorful rock formations.
-
Structural support:
- Decorations fixation: Ideal to set heavy decorative elements such as branches and rock formations, providing stability and terrarium safety.
-
Promotes natural behaviors:
- Escarbar Madrigueras: It allows reptiles to continue their natural scratch behaviors for the construction of burrows, promoting their well -being and instinctive behavior.
Recommended Uses:
- Desert and savanna landscapes: Perfect to create landscapes that replicate the natural environment of desert reptiles.
- Madrigueras and Asoleo Areas: Useful for forming fresh-humid burrows and high platforms, essential for the hydration and thermoregulation of reptiles.
- Terrario decoration: Adequate to cover all the terrarium soil space or to create specific landscape areas, combined with other substrates such as desert substrate saw habit.
Why choose from habit:
- Quality and naturalness: Prepared with high quality natural materials that faithfully replicate desert and savanna soils.
- Functionality and aesthetics: It combines important functional benefits with an aesthetic appearance that improves your terrarium visual.
- Ease of use: Easy to mold and maintain, providing a safe and enriching environment for your reptiles.
Transforms the environment of your reptiles with the decorative substrate for reptiles saw inhabiting, creating a space that is not only visually attractive, but also healthy and stimulating for your pets.
