Default Re: Area question

It's best to be as close as possible but if your off 10 to 20%, it will not wreck everything.

6" x 4" = 24"sq. x 2 sides = 48"
1/2" x 2" tube = Pi x .5 = 1.57" x 2" = 3.14" x 2 (ID & OD) = 6.28" x 2pc = 12.56"
48" + 12.56" = 60.56" SA

This is rough since I don't know the thickness of the plate, wall thickness of the tubes, the length of the #2 screws or is it threaded holes for #2 screws. If you need help on how to figure SA, just let me know.
