Help working out garage floor area.

Any of the forum boffins able to give me a rough idea of my garage floor space in m/sq from my sketch below?

It's probably a bit out of proportion but the angles and lengths are close enough.

I got the lads on E36 coupe to work this out for me a few years back and IIRC the best answers were somewhere between 25 & 30 m/sq but the thread it was posted on is no more.

Cheers 'n' that

Beat me!

I was also struggling with the angles, I think 45 is perhaps 145 and 35 135?

Think about what you can do for the club, not what it can do for you...

Mate, All I can say is that is one Censored

If you mean the other way round (ie 145=35 and 135=45) then your probably right.

I'm an instrument pipefitter so probably refer to angles differently from a draughtsman but the end result should be the same. My angles add up to 360 degrees

Here are the original plans. The previous house owner wanted an en-suite bedroom extension then used the remaining space out to the boundary for the garage. That coupled with the fact we are on a corner plot leads to the strange dimensions.

(The observant will notice my sketch is upside down compared to the plans. The garage door is on the wall that is 4000 long on my sketch. How I managed to draw it that way I've no idea)

Here's a shot of the outside. The en-suite bedroom is the higher window to the extreme left.

And the inside. Despite being a tip when this was taken it shows as Mike says the room to work around a car. There's actually enough room where the lawnmower is to park a motorbike should the mid life crisis hit at any point.

Thank's for the answers so far. I think i'll err on the safe side and allow for 35 m/sq when I decide what to do with the floor.

Approximately 37.2 sqm hope this helps .

Hmm. It's a fair bit higher than any estimates so far.
I think I'll need to get someone who knows what they are doing to physically come and measure it up.

Better to be on the safe side and call it 32 or 35 metres sq, leaving enough paint for a second coat in areas where wear will be higher, such as inside the doors, and in front of the bench. Anyway, most manufacturers lie about coverage!
