Multiply the product by the flat roof area and divide by 100:- our 12×16 shed square footage with overhangs is 252 sq ft, so 1.118 x 252 = 282 square feet, 282 / 100 = 2.82 squares.

How many shingles do i need for a 12×16 shed | How many bundles of shingles do i need for a 12×16 shed | how to calculate shingles quantity for 12×16 shed. Calculation of shingles quantity is simple and easy if your shed roof is flat, but majority of house in US have pitch roof that makes calculation of square footage area for pitch roof difficult. The shed footprint is 12×16 = 192 sq ft but the roof surface is quite a bit more due to slope. Gambrel roofs have different slopes and configuration pitch but generally the roof surface is roughly twice the footprint in square footage. This article describes the basic maths calculation to calculate roof materials such as shingles. If you have ever question yourself “how many squares footage or square is my house roof?” this article will help you find the square footage of your roof. This article describe about the maths formula to figure out how much shingles you need to order. When you talked Roofing is about using the term “square“, a “square” equal to 100 square feet of roof or a 10 foot by 10 foot area. So a roof that has 200 square feet of area has 2 squares. Remember that unless the roof is flat, the square footage of the building is different than the square footage of the roof because of the slope or pitch of the roof and the overhangs. Eves overhangs can vary from a few inches to a few feet depending on requirements; however, it is suggested width of an overhang is between 12” and 18” for eaves and no more than 8” for rakes. That said, overhangs can extend as far as 2′ without the need for external supports. In this article we assume 2 feet overhang in both dimensions.

Find the square root of the sum:- square root of 180 = 13.417 Sum divide by 12 to get the product:- square root of 180 = 13.417 is divided by 12 as 13.417 ÷ 12 = 1.118, hence 1.118 equals the product Multiply the product by the flat roof area and divide by 100:- our 12×16 shed square footage with overhangs is 252 sq ft, so 1.118 x 252 = 282 square feet, 282 / 100 = 2.82 squares. Round this number up and thats your answer, 3 squares! Add 10% for wastes:- wastages 10% of 2.82 squares = 0.282, so final squares of shingles do you need = 2.82+ 0.282 = 3.1 squares.

How many bundles of shingles do i need for a 12×16 shed:- for each roofing square, you will need three bundles of shingles, so for 3.1 square = 3×3.1 = 9.3, rounded to 10. Thus, for a 12×16 shed roof, on average, you will need 10 bundles of three tab strip standard-sized shingles (12 inch by 36 inch) when overhangs is 1 feet and roof slope is 6/12. Note:- Be aware, the only way to get a 100 percent accurate measurement is to have a local roofing contractor come out to professionally measure your shed roof and give you a quote. However, I explained about to get a rough measurement of your shed square footage and shingles quantity.
