How many do l need (Hardboard Sheets)

paulofessex

Good afternoon
I wonder if anyone is able to assist me in establishing how many sheets of hardboard l need to purchase. My task is to line a large wooden shed, and l wish to purchase 8' by 4' sheets but for the life of me cannot get my head round how many l would need. I have put the sizes of the shed below and really appreciate any help

Height: 6' 6" Length: 11' 5" Width: 5' 5"

Many thanks

3 sheets for each long side @ 4' x 6'6"
1.5 sheets for short side @ 4' x 6'6" and 1.5' x 6'6"

but really depends upon how the vertical supports are spaced

I guess you could fit suitable horizontal battens between them to provide support. Might be easier than having to cut down every sheet.

Many thanks for the replies. Just now need to get down to Wickes £10 cheaper for what l need than B&Q even with B&Q's current 15% offer
