Agri-Fab Deluxe Push Broadcast Spreader (85 lb)
Choosing the right spreader for your lawn.
You'll need to know the size of your lawn to help determine which size spreader you need.
- For a rectangular or square lawn, simply multiply the length times the width for total square feet.
- If your lawn is a triangle, multiply the length of the base times the height, and divide that number by 2.
- If your lawn is circular (or close), measure the distance from the center to the edge. This is the radius. Multiply that number by itself (r2) , and then multiply by pi (3.14).
- If your lawn is irregular, you can break it up into smaller areas, figure those sizes and then add them up.
- Convert square footage to acreage by dividing your total area by 43,560, the number of square feet in a single acre.
Once you have determined the size of your lawn, use the chart below to pick the spreader that best matches your acreage:
