This tool will help you quickly calculate the square footage of your pool.
How to Use the Pool Square Footage Calculator
Enter the length, width, and depth of your pool in feet. Choose the shape of your pool from the dropdown menu. Click the Calculate button to see the calculated square footage required for your pool.
Explanation:
- The Length is the longest side of your pool.
- The Width is the shorter side of your pool.
- The Depth is the average depth for curved pools or constant depth for rectangle pools.
- The Shape can either be rectangle or oval. Choose appropriately for accurate calculations.
How it Calculates:
- For rectangle pools, the square footage is calculated as:
Length × Width. - For oval pools, the square footage is calculated as:
(Length / 2) × (Width / 2) × π. (π ≈ 3.14)
Limitations:
- This calculator assumes consistent depth and only works for basic pool shapes: rectangle and oval.
- It does not consider slopes, steps, or additional features such as varying depths.
