HOW TO MEASURE YOUR AREA Step one is knowing the exact dimensions of the area you want to pave. Using a tape measure and string measure out your area. We recommend doing this mutliple times to ensure you have an accurate measurement. Once you have measured your area, you can start to draw up your plan.

The quantity of the materials needed for the paving job depends upon the total area to be paved. This can be determined from measurements taken off the plan or if the area to be paved has been pegged out on site. The area is simply calculated by measuring the width and length of the area to be paved.

length (m) x width (m) = area (m2)

FOR RECTANGULAR AREAS FOR TRIANGULAR AREAS FOR ODD-SHAPED AREAS base (m) x height (m) = area (m2) 0.5 x base (m) x height (m) = area (m2) Area 1 m2 + Area 2 m2 + Area 3m2 = Total (m2)

2m

3m AREA 3m AREA 4m

5m 5m AREA 1 AREA 2 AREA 3 eg. 3m x 5m = 15m2 eg. 0.5 x 3m x 5m = 7.5m2 3m 3m 2m Area 1 4m x 3m = 12m2 Area 2 6m x 3m = 18m2 2 Area 3 0.5 x 6m x 2m = 6m Total Area = 36m2 HOW MANY PAVERS WILL I NEED? Midland Brick recommend calculating the square metre area to be covered and adding 5% to allow for cuts and wastage. To calculate this:

Area to be paved (m2) x 1.05 (allows for 5% wastage) = total m2 of pavers required

0.5m 0.3m Ground level To do this you will need: • The length of the wall. • The height at both ends of the wall. Calculation for above diagram: This area is simply calculated by length x height for basic square or rectangle spaces. Area 1 4.0m x 0.3m = 1.2m2 For odd shapes break your area down into several sections. Area 2 4.0m x (0.5m/2) = 1.0m2 For triangular areas use half base x height to calculate your area. Total = 2.2m2 Allow up to 5% extra for cuts, part blocks & breakages. Note: Midland Brick takes no responsibility for quantities calculated.
