Here’s an easy way to determine how many pavers are needed for the new patio you are building.
Let’s assume the following…
Patio Area: 16'Wx12'L
Paver: 8Wx12H
Square footage of Patio Area (P) is 192. This is derived by multiplying Length by Width.
Each paver is not 1 square foot. 1 square foot would be a 12Hx12W
paver. In this example, I’m working with an 8Hx12W
paver (p).
Convert the paver into square inches by multiplying width by the height: 8*12 = 96 in2
So far
P=192 ft2 (Patio square footage)
p=96 in2 (Paver square inches)
1 ft2 is 144 (12×12).
Calculate how many of these pavers will be required to fill a single square foot.
144/96 = 1.5 pavers
Take total square footage, P, and multiple by how many pavers are required for each square footage.
192*1.5 = 288 pavers
Not too bad. I think I’ll get this project started soon.
