Measuring Your Patio Space
You’ll need to place your order in square metres (mĀ²) 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 mĀ².
For example:
Length: 6.5m
Width: 10m
6.5 x 10 = 65mĀ²
Add 10-15% and round-up.
65 + 6.5 = 71.5
You need: 72mĀ²
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 = 40mĀ²
Small Section: 14.5mĀ²
40 + 14.5 = 54.5mĀ²
Add 10% and round-up.
54.5 + 5.45 = 59.95
You need: 60mĀ²
