Forum rules
Dear convert-me.com forum visitors,
Our forum has been available for many years. In September 2014 we decided to switch it to read-only mode. Month after month we saw less posts with questions and answers from real people and more spam posts. We were spending more and more resources cleaning the spam until there were less them 1 legitimate message per 100 spam posts. Then we decided it's time to stop.
All the posts in the forum will be available and searchable. We understand there are a lot of useful information and we aren't going to remove anything. As for the new questions, you can always ask them on
convert-me.com FaceBook pageThank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

how many sheet of 4x8 sheating would I require to cover 22sqft?
I'm bulding a 20 x 26 garage with a cottage roof and need 4x8 sheeting to cover it.

A 4' x 8' piece of sheeting equals 32 square feet (length in feet x width in feet = square feet).
20' x 26' equals 520 square feet. As there is 32 square feet in a 4' x 8' piece of plywood, divide 520 by 32, which equals 16.25 pieces. You'll need 17 pieces of 4' x 8' sheeting, IF you have a flat roof.
If your roof isn't flat, you'll need more than that.
