How Much Stain do I need?

First you will need to know the square footage of the total area you are planing on staining. To figure out the square footage first take the length of the wall in feet, then multiply that by the height in feet.  Add up the square footage from all the walls you plan on staining and this will be the square footage that you plan to stain.
