Measuring Your Patio Space

You’ll need to place your order in square metres (m²) and the area you need to cover will determine how many crates of slabs you should order.

Follow our guide on how to measure your patio in square metres to make sure that you avoid over or under ordering for your project.

We always advise ordering an extra 10-15% on top, to account for cuts and waste.

Tip: Once you’ve measured your space, draw it out to scale so that you can visualise the space a lot easier and always double-check your calculations.

Regularly Shaped Patio

If the shape of your patio space is a regular, square or rectangle, measure the width at the widest points and do the same for the length. You can then multiply the two together to find out the area in m².

For example:

Length: 6.5m

Width: 10m

6.5 x 10 = 65m²

Add 10-15% and round-up.

65 + 6.5 = 71.5

You need: 72m²

Irregularly Shaped Patio

If your space is an L-shape or wraps around your house, break the space up into squares or rectangles and measure each section individually.

For example:

Large Section = 40m²

Small Section: 14.5m²

40 + 14.5 = 54.5m²

Add 10% and round-up.

54.5 + 5.45 = 59.95

You need: 60m²

Placing Your Order

Once you’ve come to a decision on your choice of paving and you know the m² coverage you’ll need, placing your order will be simple!

Just head over to the relevant product page on our website and use the handy product calculators to work out exactly what you’ll need. Enter your m² in the area tab and the website will work out exactly how many crates and slabs you’ll need.
