Depends on how deep you want it.
You have 156 sq feet to cover. So when your ready for it, you can ask someone at the store.
Depends upon the depth you want. Convert all 3 measurements to feet and multiply. This will give you number of cubic feet of pea gravel needed.

One cubic foot of pea gravel is about 50 pounds. So for 156 square feet with a depth of a few inches, you will need about 40 cubic feet, or about 2000 lbs. If you put weed blocking cloth under the pea gravel the weeds will grow any way. Instead, plan on spraying the weeds with Roundup when they begin to annoy you. Adding sand to the pea gravel will stabilize it. It fills the void space and prevents some movement. I would plan on 400 to 600 pounds of sand.
