Complex shape turf calculator

To calculate the turf required for a complex area, first divide the total area into simple shapes and calculate these areas. Then you add them together.

例如： 长方形：长5米、宽3米 —— 5米 x 3米 = 15平方米；三角形：底边2米、高3米

回答= 2米 x 0.50 x 3米 = 3平方米；总面积：15平方米 + 3平方米 = 18平方米

Turf slab sizes

When you’re calculating turf for simple areas of regular shape for the front yard, side and backyard, it is helpful to also work out the size of the slabs. This is so you don’t end up with turf left over, have to order extra or find you made slight miscalculations because of a turf shape that requires another slab square to complete it.
