[Closed] How do I measure this for square metreage?

The Lawn?

I'd measure it square, deduct the corner in front of Wilma, then deduct the square part of the path, then deduct the area of the circle.

Edit - But then I'm a 'as thick as pig shit' person who has to measure stuff for work constantly, so clever people might use fancy maths.

Get a giant piece of paper with squares (I would suggest 1m squares) and then count the whole number of squares and then add up the half ones etc etc.

Or, seal off the perimeter and then fill it up with water to 1m deep. If you keep a track of how many litres of water then you can work out the area.

😀

Or you could just use a tape measure and break it up into easy to work out chunks

50 m² give or take.

Argh!! That lawn!!!

Argghhh, that dawg!

Use one of the free tools for measuring areas on Google earth.

I'd do the same as blazin saddles. My lawn has also been wrecked by my dog.

What is "this"? The lawn, the path, the amount of grass, the area it takes including the penis pavement, something else?

It's for the amount of either pretendy grass or turf I'd need if I went down one of those routes Drac.

You have a very odd shaped penis. Cougar. 😯

Get a couple of people in to quote for putting down pretend grass or turf, and see what they reckon.

In that case, how wide is a roll? you'd probably measure it like a carpet, enough to cover the square area then throw the phallus away and the bit in front of the dog.

Unless you want a join in it at the back? I know nothing of measuring for fake grass, if you wanted to tile it, I'm your man!

With just a little trimmed bush at the top?

4mtrs, I've only priced it at one place up to now (MKM in Ripon) It's that stuff with some brown bits in & looks reasonably convincing. Theirs is £55 a linear metre. I have no idea how this compares to others!

The area's the same, n'est-ce pas? Measure it for tiles, then cross out 'tiles' and write 'grass.'

Hang on whilst I disable my webcam.

Awwww!

Just thinking out loud, so don't shoot me, but would having a dog pee and poo over fake grass cause a hygiene problem?

No.

The poo would be picked up anyway & the wee would drain away through the aptly named 'drain holes'. I could even jet wash it.
No kids are allowed on the premises & we stopped rolling around on the grass years ago.

Dig down to 1m exactly and see how many dumpy bags you can fill. Number of bags = surface area.

No, don't thank me.

Cover it with concrete, measuring the volume as you go, measure the depth, the divide the volume by the depth!

Work in cubic meters for the volume and meters for the depth. If you get to a depth of 1m it makes the maths so much simpler.

Walk around ut with strava on

Should be good for +/- 5m

I like your thinking, but tiles come in small bit where you can use offcuts etc. Fake grass, I would imagine, is like a carpet, the knob bit cut out the middle would have to be thrown away so would have to be allowed in the measure, tiles you could delete it.

Why? There's np pattern to follow so like a carpet without a pattern it can be reused as it will be blend in.

What's the "pier" feature all about ? 😀

We had the Green Thumb gadjy round the other day & he says what we knew, the dead bits are very dead. It would mean scarifying & re-seeding etc then stopping dippy Wilma scratting about (she's not dippy really, just 'puppyish')

How much to re-turf it then?

BTW, see those 2 odd slabs? wer'e going to extend that bit to about 2 sq mtrs.

EDIT, Cheers Pies, I'll have a closer look at that site.

Swap dog for a Male one and re-turf

Got a garmin etrex or similar: set to measure area and walk around perimeter. If you want to exclude certain areas: measure areas of these and subtract etc. (I can't see your photos as I'm quite near timbuktu with a dicky connection...)

Like I said, I know nothing about measuring to fit fake grass.
