Your Results
Surface to coat: 28.50 sq ft (top + four sides), 57 sq ft across 2 coats
• Buy 1 quart(s) (0.63 quarts with a 10% waste margin)
• That is 0.25 gallon-equivalents; a gallon is usually cheaper once you need 3+ quarts
Coverage numbers on cans assume smooth, sealed surfaces; raw or stripped wood drinks the first coat, so lean toward the extra quart.
