How many 16x16 pavers do you need for a 13x13 patio?

To determine how many 16x16 pavers are needed for a 13x13 patio, first calculate the area of the patio, which is 169 square feet (13 ft x 13 ft). Each 16x16 paver covers 2.22 square feet (1.33 ft x 1.33 ft). Dividing the patio area by the area of one paver (169 / 2.22) gives approximately 76 pavers needed. Since you can't have a fraction of a paver, you would need 76 pavers to cover the patio.


How many 16x16 pavers needed for 5x5 patio?

To determine how many 16x16 pavers are needed for a 5x5 patio, first calculate the area of the patio and the area of one paver. The patio area is 5 feet x 5 feet = 25 square feet. Each 16x16 paver covers 2.67 square feet (16 inches = 1.33 feet, so 1.33 x 1.33 ≈ 1.78 square feet). Dividing the patio area by the paver area, you need approximately 10 pavers (25 ÷ 1.78 ≈ 14). Therefore, you would need about 15 pavers to cover the patio area completely.

How many 2 x 12 pavers for a 10x10 patio?

To calculate the number of 2 x 12 pavers needed for a 10x10 patio, first convert the patio area to square feet: 10 feet x 10 feet = 100 square feet. Each 2 x 12 paver has an area of 2 feet x 1 foot = 2 square feet. Therefore, you would need 100 square feet / 2 square feet per paver = 50 pavers to cover the entire patio.


How many 12x12 pavers do you need for a 12x 12 patio?

Dang, what happened to 2nd grade math? If you are talking a 12 inch by 12" paver in a 12" by 12" patio then you would need only one. If you are talking about a 12 inch by 12 inch paver in a 12 foot by 12 foot patio then you would need 144 pavers (12 X 12 = 144). However, I would suggest that if you cannot answer this question yourself you spend the extra money and hire someone to do the work. In doing so I would also suggest that you have someone else check the math in their bill because you probably won't know if they are overcharging you.

How many 16 inch x 16 inch pavers for a 20 ft x 20 ft patio?

To determine how many 16 inch x 16 inch pavers are needed for a 20 ft x 20 ft patio, first calculate the area of the patio in square feet: 20 ft x 20 ft = 400 sq ft. Each 16 inch x 16 inch paver covers an area of 1.78 sq ft (16 in = 1.33 ft, so 1.33 ft x 1.33 ft = 1.78 sq ft). Dividing the patio area by the area of one paver gives: 400 sq ft ÷ 1.78 sq ft ≈ 224.7. Therefore, you would need approximately 225 pavers to cover the patio.
