100 cu ft

gallons = 100 cu ft × 7.48 = 748.1

weight = 748.1 gal × 8.34 lb = 6,239 lb

US gallons

These are US gallons, 231 cubic inches each. An imperial gallon is about 20% bigger.

Weight

Full of water, that's 6,239 lb. On a deck, check the hot tub calculator before you fill it.

How we work it out

A US gallon is 231 cubic inches, exactly. A cubic foot is 12 × 12 × 12 = 1,728 cubic inches, so it holds 1,728 ÷ 231 = 7.48 gallons.

gallons = cubic feet × 7.48

cubic feet = gallons ÷ 7.48

A cubic yard is 27 cubic feet, about 202 gallons. A gallon is 3.785 liters. Water weighs about 8.34 lb a gallon, so a cubic foot of it is about 62 lb.
