How it works
Cylinder volume = π × radius² × height. Rectangular container volume = length × width × height. The result is multiplied by the number of pots and your allowance.
Planning estimates depend on your measurements, product labels, material density and site conditions. For purchased products, follow the manufacturer's label.
