Plan turf, drainage, and lining with confidence. Pick a sport, add buffer zones, estimate costs. Get accurate area, perimeter, and volume instantly today right.
| Use Case | Shape | Dimensions | Buffer | Approx. Area (m²) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Soccer (typical) | Rectangle | 105 m × 68 m | 2 m | 7,848 |
| Basketball (FIBA) | Rectangle | 28 m × 15 m | 1 m | 510 |
| Tennis (doubles lines) | Rectangle | 78 ft × 36 ft | 6 ft | 401 |
| Training circle | Circle | Diameter 50 m | 0 m | 1,963 |
| Cricket oval estimate | Ellipse | 150 m × 130 m | 3 m | 16,663 |
Accurate field area helps quantify excavation, sub-base, geotextile coverage, turf rolls, and line marking scope. It also supports logistics: delivery quantities, crew hours, and inspection checklists. A consistent footprint reduces rework when drawings change late in construction.
This calculator includes quick presets to speed early estimates. Examples: soccer is often 105 m × 68 m (7,140 m²), field hockey is 91.4 m × 55 m (5,027 m²), and a FIBA basketball court is 28 m × 15 m (420 m²). Tennis doubles lines are 78 ft × 36 ft (2,808 ft²). Always confirm governing-body and client requirements.
Construction footprints usually exceed playing lines. A buffer b adds space on every side, so effective dimensions become L + 2b and W + 2b. For a 105 m × 68 m rectangle with a 2 m buffer, the area becomes 109 m × 72 m = 7,848 m², adding 708 m² (about 9.9%).
Use thickness to estimate base or infill volume: Volume = Area × Thickness. With the 7,848 m² footprint and 50 mm (0.05 m) thickness, volume is 392.4 m³, which is roughly 513 yd³. These values support trucking counts and compaction planning.
Outputs include m², ft², yd², hectares, and acres. For reference, 1 m² = 10.7639 ft². If you enter a rate per your selected unit (m², ft², or yd²), the calculator produces a fast budget estimate. Export CSV for spreadsheets and PDF for site reports.
It adds extra space around the footprint for safety zones, drainage, fencing offsets, and construction access. The calculator applies it to every side, increasing overall dimensions.
Use presets for early budgeting and feasibility checks. Use custom shapes when drawings specify nonstandard dimensions, training areas, or irregular footprints that need tighter quantity control.
Oval perimeter is computed with a well-known approximation that is accurate for typical field-like proportions. For detailed fencing takeoffs, verify with CAD geometry or survey data.
Playing lines exclude runoff, team areas, and construction tolerances. If you add buffer, your footprint expands, which is usually the correct basis for grading, base layers, and turf quantities.
Thickness is converted to meters (mm, cm, or inches), then multiplied by area. The result is shown in m³ and converted to yd³ for ordering and hauling estimates.
If your input unit is meters, the rate is per m²; if feet, per ft²; if yards, per yd². The calculator multiplies the selected-unit area by your rate.
