AWS Calculations

Formula for Calculating Pedestals

 

 

Example No.1

 

Example No. 2

Materials used:
24” x 24” Architectural Slabs                (4 SF per paver)

 

 

Materials Used:
18” x 18” Architectural Slabs        (2.25 SF per paver)

Square Feet Coverage:
1000 SF (20’ x 50’)
 

 

Square Feet Coverage:
800 SF (20’ x 40’)

Formulas:
1,000 SF / 4 SF = 250 Pavers & 250

AWS needed
 

 

Formulas:
800 SF / 2.25 SF = 355 Pavers & 355 AWS needed

Calculation of Perimeter (Lineal feet)
20’ x 50’ area = 140 lineal foot perimeter
140’ x 12” = 1,680”
1,680” / 24” (length of paver) = 70 pedestals
 

 

Calculation of Perimeter (Lineal feet)
20’ x 40’ area = 120 lineal foot perimeter
120’ x 12” = 1,440”
1,440” / 18 (length of paver) = 80 pedestals

Total: 250 + 70 = 320 pedestals needed

 

Total: 355 + 80 = 435  pedestals needed

 

*Additional Pavers/AWS™ Supports may be needed for decks of irregular shapes.
