Square or Rectangle: Measure in metres the LENGTH and WIDTH of the Square or Rectangular area. To calculate the required amount of Turf in square metres multiply the length by the width. Example: Length 10 metres: Width 5 metres 10 x 5 = 50 square metres |

Circle: Measure in metres the DIAMETER of the circular area. To calculate the required amount of turf in square metres multiply by 0.80 - by the diameter and then by the diameter again. Example: Diameter 9 metres 0.80 x 9 x 9 = 64.80 square metres |

Oval: Measure in metres the LENGTH and WIDTH of the Oval area. To calculate the required amount of Turf in square metres multiply 0.80 by the length and then by the width. Example: Length 23 metres: Width 17 metres 0.80 x 23 x 17 = 312.80 square metres |

|
Triangle: Measure in metres the BASE and HEIGHT of the Triangular area. To calculate the required amount of Turf in square metres multiply 0.50 by the base and then by the height. Example: Base 40 metres: Height 25 metres 0.50 x 40 x 25 = 500 square metres |
