#PATIO PAVERS 16X16 FULL#
Total number of pavers = pavers per square foot × total project area (rounded up - if you don't get a full number, you might need to round it up and adjust the extra brick around the edges of the project) What's left to do is to calculate the total number of pavers needed. The reason why the numerator is 144 is that there are 144 square inches in one square foot. Pavers per square foot = 144 / single brick's area To calculate how many patio pavers fit in one square foot, the following formula is needed: He opted for square 6"×6" pavers.Īfter multiplying the brick's length by its width, John knows that the area of a single paver is 36 in². Next, John has to calculate the area of a single patio paver covers and the number of pavers per square foot. Patio area = subarea width × subarea length × number of subareas To count this, he uses the following equation: John's patio is a shape resembling a four-armed star, so he can divide it into five 15'×15' squares. John measured the total area of the patio. Naturally, his first thought was, "How many pavers do I need?" His calculations went as follows:ġ. John decided to have his patio paved with bricks. Let's go through an example using the patio paver calculator together. The pavers cost calculator will sum up the two values above up and show you the total estimated expenses of the project, both for the pavers' cost and their installation by professionals. Typically, it costs somewhere between $8 and $20, but the prices will vary depending on your location. To get the estimated cost of installation, put in the cost of installation per square foot. To estimate the total pavers cost, simply state the price of a single brick, and the paver calculator will do the work for you. All that's left to do is to calculate the costs: With all these values ready, the calculator will show you how many bricks are needed to cover one square foot, as well the total number of patio pavers you will need for your project.Ĥ. In the next section of this article, you will find a table of the most common paver brick sizes.ģ. Provide a single brick's width and a single brick's length to get the area it covers. Now you need to determine the paver brick size. If the sizes of its subareas differ, just calculate the material in each one by choosing the single rectangle option, and then sum the results up.įor a single rectangle, input the length and the width of the patio, and you will get its area.įor several identical rectangles, add the number of the subareas, and the calculator will show you the total area of the patio.Ģ. NOTE: Don't worry if the shape of your patio is impossible to divide into rectangles of the same size. Head to Omni's square footage calculator for a quick estimation. Start by choosing whether your patio is a single rectangle or if it has a different shape, in which case you need to divide it into identical rectangles to make the calculation easier. Using the patio paver calculator is very simple.
