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 page

Thank you for being with us and sorry for any inconveniences this could caused.

You can't convert square meters to yards. BUt that's not a problem. When they tell you something is priced by the yard, they are generally talking about a square yard (for carpet and such) or a cubic yard (for soil and gravel and the like).

As you're most likely looking to convert square meters to square yards, you're in luck. Its pretty easy to do.

A square meter is a square one meter on each side.

1 meter x 1 meter = (1x1) (meter x meter) = 1 meter²

Now, there are 1.094 yards in one meter, so:

1.094 yards x 1.094 yards = (1.094 x1.094) (yards x yards) = 1.2 yards²
