How many gallons of paint would it take to paint the outside of a building the size of 6 barns?
A good formula to use is 350 square feet of coverage for each gallon of paint. This can vary a bit, depending on the surface of the building and how many coats you'll need to cover an existing color (if any). Get your measurements, calculate the total square footage that needs to be covered, and divide that number by 350. Assuming you'll only need one coat of paint, you'll have your answer! Example: 4 exterior walls, each 16 feet in height and 100 feet in length = 1,600 square feet per wall = 6,400 square feet for all 4 walls. In this case, you'd need just under 19 gallons of paint to cover the building with one coat. Hope this helps out, and happy painting!
How many gallons of paint would it take to paint the exterior of a 4059 square foot home?
Edit:Square footage of the house's floor space (ie - an "1150 sq ft house") is not enough information. First you need to determine the square footage of the wall surface and any other surfaces you are going to paint (walls, trim, windows, etc..):(BTW the single cans of paint I deal with only cover 400 square feet of wall space, not 800! So check your paint can and adjust the math accordingly)Original answer:one gallon will cover 800 square feet of wall space. Consider this; are you covering a light color with a dark color or vice versa. Dark colors tend to take at least 2 coats.Here is a formula:Add together the length of each wall.[wall] + [wall]+ [wall] +[wall] = wall length For example, 16 + 16 + 20 + 20 = 72 feet.Multiply the total length of walls by the total height.72 feet x 9 feet = 648 square feetSubtract 20 square feet per door and 15 square feet per window.[wall] - [door]- [window] = square footage For example, 648 - 20 - 20 - 20 - 15 - 15 - 15 - 15 = 528 square feet.Divide the answer by 350 (the estimated coverage/gallon) for smooth walls; or divide by 300 for rough or textured walls, which soak up more paint.[square footage] ÷ 350 = 1.5 gallons for smooth walls per coat For example, 528 ÷ 350 = 1.5 gallons for smooth walls and 528 ÷ 300 = 1.76 gallons for rough/textured walls.Add 10 percent for waste.1.428 x .10 = 0.1428 1.428 + 0.1428 = 1.57or 2 gallons for each coat of paint. Between paint drying in the pan and mistakes along the way, you'll want to have this 10 percent cushion. After all, you don't want to run out.

that is 336 square feet of wall assuming there are no windows or doors, which I'm sure there are. you need to deduct the square footage of any windows and doors and subtract that from 336. a gallon of paint will paint approx 400 square feet per coat.

Is a deck a part of the square footage of a house?
A deck is not included in the square footage of a house. Only fully enclosed spaces with roof and walls are included. Spaces not designed for occupation such as garages, basements, screen porches, etc., are also not included but are often listed separately (i.e. 2,300 square foot home with 24x25 garage and 18x22 covered deck). If the deck is a fully enclosed all-season room, added with building permits, local standards might allow it to be included in the home square footage. A real estate professional can help with the fine points.
What is the square footage of 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft?
For square footage (area) you only have two measurements. So a carpet 4 ft x 4 ft has a square footage of 16 square feet. And a carpet of 4 ft x 8 ft has a square footage of 32 square feet. Three measurements like 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft give you cubic footage, or volume. So the volume of a container that size would be 128 cubic feet.

How to Convert linear footage to square footage?
Since you know the length you know the linear footage. Next: measure the width and multiply the width by the length, this will give you the area or sq. footage. Length x width. For example: a room 8 ft. long x 10 ft. wide would be 64 square feet. The length is important because your carpet at the big box store is 10 feet wide and you only need 8 linear feet. In this case the square footage is: 8 ft. x 10 ft. = 80 sq. feet.
