What is one hundred square meters of land?
This value has been found on the territory of our state for about a hundred years. It was introduced by the Bolsheviks immediately after the October events 1 century ago, when they came to power.
Perimeter
First of all, a weaving is a piece of land equal to 10x10 meters (in length and width). In quadrature it will be equal to 100 m2. If you ask yourself the question – one hundred square meters is how many square meters, then you can immediately answer it – 100 square meters.
If the question arises, how much is one hundred square meters of land, then the answer will be the same. It’s easy to remember: 1 hundred square meters is 100 square meters (100 m2). The same is true for larger areas. Thinking about the problem, a plot of land of 10 acres is how many meters, you can calculate and say - 10 acres is a plot of land 100 meters long and 10 meters wide.
The mathematics in this regard is quite simple.
Simple calculations will allow you to quickly convert the dimensions of length and width into the required values.
Irregularly shaped area - what to do?
What if your land is not rectangular in shape? Turn to mathematics for help: formulas for calculating the area of a polygon or oval will be a little more complicated, but this problem can be solved without the help of specialists. Suffice it to remember the school curriculum. True, the number of measurements required for calculations will be greater.
The main thing: no matter what shape the plot is, the number of acres will not change - it depends only on the area, but not on the shape of the piece of land you own. Therefore, here the algorithm of actions is the same as when calculating with a rectangular plot: we calculate the area, divide the resulting number of square meters by one hundred - and get the number of acres.
Weaving is how many meters
Today, in a garden or vegetable garden, when checking with a summer resident about the parameters of a plot, you can hear a quantity that is incomprehensible and rarely encountered by a city dweller. It is not taught in schools. In physics lessons, she is not given anything to classify, since she is not from the “C” system. Why, not even all summer residents know this parameter for sure.
Plot of 30 acres
To understand the size of a plot of land, the owner of a summer house or garden plot can, for convenience, convert the values into ares or meters. Knowing the boundaries of the plot, in order to convert the dimensions of the land into hundreds, you need to find its area in square meters.
How to independently calculate the length of the sides of the site
You can calculate exactly how many sheets of corrugated sheets you need only by knowing the length of the sides. You can count without special instruments, especially if the area is 4–6 acres.
- Using calipers in meter increments. Take two sticks and nail them to each other so that the distance between them is a meter. After this, walk along the sides of the area and count by hand. For the same purposes, you can use a purchased pedometer/land surveyor.
- Construction tape. After each meter, stick a twig into the ground so as not to get lost and be able to recalculate everything again.
- According to Google maps, taking into account scale. The scale is indicated on the maps. You can start from the size of a car or other object with known dimensions that came across on Google maps.
- According to the cadastral passport - the simplest option. If you know the cadastral number of the plot, you can submit an electronic request through Rosreestr or the State Services portal. The official plan can be obtained from any IFC office.
A few final words:
- immediately decide how many gates and wickets there will be, estimate their sizes and subtract them from the footage of the fence when calculating;
- a simple calculation of how many sheets of corrugated sheets are needed to fence a plot of 12, 10, 8, 6 acres does not take into account the terrain of the earth and the difference in level;
- The most accurate and easiest way to find out the number of profiled sheets is to contact a surveyor who visits the site. We offer measuring services completely free of charge.
And finally, you can use an online calculator that takes into account everything: materials, gates and gates, as well as the cost of work. Although knowing how to do the calculations yourself is useful, an online corrugated sheet calculator makes life a lot easier.
We wish you easy and successful construction!
Number of acres in 1 hectare
With a very large area of land, it is inconvenient to use the size in acres. On agricultural land plots, the size of plots is measured in hectares. One hectare is equivalent to one hundred acres, or equal to ten thousand m2. It is worth noting that in the documents the plots are registered in hectares.
1 hectare is how many m2?
Large areas of state farms or farms can be tens of square kilometers in size. Let's determine how much it is in hundreds. But it is worth mentioning in advance that it is inconvenient to calculate such dimensions in meters or acres. It is more convenient to use hectares.
To determine the size of a land plot in acres, you need to find the area of 1 km2 in square meters. Multiplying 1 thousand by 1 thousand meters, we get 1 million square meters.
This area is equal to 100 hectares or ten thousand acres.
In this case, it is more convenient to measure areas in hectares than in hundreds or square meters. It is worth noting that some other Western countries use acre for measurements.
Typical plot sizes
Below is the perimeter (the sum of all sides) for square-shaped areas.
6 acres (600 m2) - 1 side ~24.5 m. Perimeter 98 meters
10 acres (1000 m2) - 1 side ~31.5 m. Perimeter 126 meters
14 acres (1400 m2) - 1 side ~37.5 m. Perimeter 150 meters
16 acres (1600 m2) - 1 side 40 m. Perimeter 160 meters
20 acres (2000 m2) - 1 side ~44.7 m. Perimeter 179 meters

How many meters is 1 are
Everything is simple here. For translation, you can imagine a square with sides of 10 by 10 meters. Having found its area, by multiplying the sides we get 100 m2, or the same 1 hundred square meters. Based on this, it follows that one are of land is equal to one hundred square meters.
Unit conversion table
For clarity, we provide a list of conversion values:
- 1 are equal to 1 hundred;
- 10 ar = 10 weave;
- 100 are equal to 100 acres.
But in recent years, macaws have not been seen in everyday life. Distant pre-revolutionary times have faded into oblivion. Now hundreds are used. The famous 6 acres of land are still popular in the post-Soviet space.
To combat the food crisis in the middle of the last century, certain measures were taken. Soviet citizens were given dacha plots. Their size was regulated by hundreds.
Getting plots of land was quite problematic. Having found the long-awaited acres somewhere outside the city, people flocked to their plots for the weekend. Houses, sheds, and summer kitchens were set up there.
What is the value in meters?
The people were happy to grow apples, pears, and potatoes on their treasured plots of land. Then almost everyone knew that 6 acres is how many meters. In the summer, a huge number of the Soviet population spent time at their dachas, on six hundred square meters.
Cucumbers, tomatoes, cabbage - the fertile land provided plenty of everything. It is difficult to count how many people provided themselves with vegetables and fruits from their summer cottages every year.
Introduction: features of corrugated sheeting and its markings
Corrugated sheeting is made from steel by cold rolling, then profiled: it receives a trapezoidal or wave-shaped corrugation. Profiling makes a thin sheet tougher, increases its strength and service life.
Corrugated sheet metal is placed on the roof, fences are made from it, and walls are lined with it. This is a popular material: it is quickly installed and lasts 20-40 years.
Available in three varieties:
- “black” is simple steel that quickly rusts;
- galvanized - with a zinc coating that protects the metal from rust;
- with polymer coating - available in 200 colors; polymers protect against corrosion in the same way as zinc.
Rough corrugated sheeting is almost never used in the construction of fences. For a reliable and beautiful fence, we recommend immediately choosing a galvanized or polymer one.
Corrugated sheeting is labeled differently depending on its characteristics and where it will be used. Fences are mounted from wall profiled sheets, which are marked with the letter “C” . The number after “C” indicates the height of the corrugation. We use three options: S-8, S-20, S-21. The higher the corrugation, the stiffer the corrugated sheet, so S-21 is stronger than S-8.
When building a fence, a profiled sheet can be installed vertically (the corrugations are located perpendicular to the ground) and horizontally (parallel). The height of the fence may also be different when installed using both methods.
Our company uses products from Lipetsk LLC NLMK, so to calculate how many sheets of corrugated sheets are needed to fence 6, 8, 10 and 12 acres, let’s take S-8 produced by NLMK with an installation width of 1150 mm (1.15 m) , installed vertically. The calculation is universal - you can substitute any values. Usually all this data is indicated on the manufacturer’s website.
What is “weaving” and how to convert it to perimeter
“Sotka” is the popular name for the non-systemic unit of measurement ar, which is used to measure plots. It is equal to the area of a square with a width of 10 m. That is, six hundred square meters is 600 square meters. m.
To find out the length of the fence, you need to know the perimeter of the site, which is calculated using the formula:
P = 2 × (a + b), where a and b are its sides.
To calculate the perimeter of a rectangle from its area, you need to know the length of at least one side. For example, it is known that the area of the plot is 600 square meters. m, and one of its sides is 60 m. Then, according to the formula b = S / a - 600 / 60 = 10. The perimeter of a plot with sides of 60 and 10 m will be equal to 140 m. This will be the approximate length of the fence without taking into account gates and gates .
Location of objects
The next step in planning our acres will be to compile a list of all the main objects and buildings.
- Vacation home;
- Bath;
- Gazebo with space for barbecue;
- Small vegetable garden;
- Playground;
- Garden.
This is not a complete list of possible objects for 12 hundred square meters, but a lot will depend on the size of the buildings.
Location of the house
As always, the layout begins with the most basic thing - the living space. Guided by the norms, we retreat 5 m from the fence and outline the area of possible location.
We outline the area of possible location of the house
It is also worth taking into account the location of your neighbors’ cottages and the flammability class of their materials, for example, insulation for the outside walls of the house. For example, if we are considering houses made of SIP panels or timber, then there should be a distance of at least 15 m between them. But between stone buildings there can be at least 8 m. By the way, read about the pros and cons of profiled timber in our other materials.
Since the plot is not narrow, we have quite a lot of room for maneuvers. This is good because we want a rather large house of 12x10 meters with a garage and a spacious terrace.
We locate the building
The entrance to the garage is located opposite the gate, and the terrace will face the main territory of the 12-acre plot.
Bathhouse location
We will not consider options for designing a summer cottage of this size without a bathhouse. A bathhouse is a must!
In accordance with the standards, we retreat a distance of 8 m from the main building, and 3 m from the fence. We obtain the area for construction:
Possible location area
We will make the country bathhouse spacious – 6x5 meters and move it closer to the neighbors’ fence.
Layout of a site with a bathhouse
Gazebo location
Since the gazebo also belongs to buildings, within the framework of this land plot we take into account the norms of distances from other objects - 8 m from the bathhouse and at least 3 m from the building.
Possible construction area
Let's consider an example with a spacious 4x4 meter gazebo that can accommodate more than 10 guests.
Alcove
Let's place it at a minimum distance from the sauna and 1 meter from the fence.
Location of other objects
For any suburban area, a vegetable garden is a mandatory element. It can occupy either a significant area or be decorative. Our acres are more a place for recreation than for growing agricultural products. Therefore, we will assign him an area measuring 8x4 meters at a distance of 1 meter from the fence next to the gazebo.
Space for a vegetable garden
Most owners of suburban acres have already managed to acquire a younger generation or are planning to do so soon. Therefore, a children's area is required. We will allocate 6x4 meters for it and place it in an area away from the road so that the place can be seen from the house, gazebo or bathhouse.
Place for a children's playground
A plot of 12 acres allows you to plan a small garden. Let's give him a place from the playground to the upper right corner measuring approximately 14x9 meters.
Place for garden planting
We are done with the main objects. Let's move on to a functional country house layout.
