Octagon Concrete Calculator
This octagon concrete calculator sizes eight-sided pads — the classic gazebo and hot-tub base. Enter one side's length and the thickness; the regular-octagon area formula does the rest.

A fórmula
Octagon volume = 2 × (1 + √2) × side² × thickness ≈ 4.828 × side² × thickness Exemplo resolvido: A gazebo pad with 4 ft sides at 4 in: 4.828 × 16 × 0.333 = 25.7 ft³ ≈ 0.95 yd³.
A regular octagon's area is 4.828 × side² — bigger than most people guess. The concrete calculator octagon math assumes all eight sides equal, which matches prefab gazebo kits.
If you know the width across the flats instead of a side length, divide by 2.414 to get the side. A 10 ft across-flats octagon has 4.14 ft sides.
Octagonal forms are cut from straight lumber at 22.5° angles — order 10% waste, since the corner cuts generate offcuts and the forms rarely close perfectly on the first try.
Perguntas frequentes
Perguntas comuns sobre a octagon concrete calculator.
How much concrete for an octagon pad?
4.828 × side² × thickness. A pad with 5 ft sides at 4 in needs 4.828 × 25 × 0.333 = 40.2 ft³ ≈ 1.49 yd³.
I know the width, not the side — what now?
Divide the across-flats width by 2.414. A 12 ft-wide octagon has sides of 4.97 ft.
What angle do I cut octagon forms?
22.5° at each of the eight corners (forms meet at 135° interior angles).
How thick for a hot tub pad?
4 inches minimum, 6 inches for large spas — a filled hot tub can exceed 5,000 lb, so confirm bearing with the spa's spec sheet.
