Wall Square Footage

My supplier sells block by the square foot, how do I go about getting the square footage of a wall that will be 80' long, 2' high and 8" think...
Thanks

you take 80 times 2 160sf of face then get 8 in block

 

my suggestion would be if you can't figure out your sq. ftge, you are not expierenced to do a retaining wall. no offense!!!! length x hieght = sq. ftge.

 

The experience is there, its just the supplier sells by the square ft and I wanted to be sure.

 

Just go with the LxW and you'll be alright.

A decent reply could also be "your confusing sqft with cube" Steve doesn't know any better

 

How about L x H.

 

How many blocks per sqft. from your supplier?



160 X # of blocks per sqft.


Then a percentage for breakage and such if you feel neccessary.

 

i agree with steve

you say the experience is there, yet you don't know the very first step in laying out a wall....

 

good catch. I almost screwed everything up.
