Could you not just measure it? Its what we would do for you to find out, and not hard to do yourself. If you know how to read numbers on a tape measure, the rest is self explanatory.

At a quick guess id say 2x4 metres will give you plenty.

Yes but wasn't sufficiently answered. So I made it again with a clearer title.
and do you have a problem? I don't understand your pessimism, have you tried this before?

Yes I guess I could, but you could say that about anyone else asking for some information. I will do that. I just wanted to confirm from another point of view from someone who has tried fitting their own carpet before.

take plenty of pic's when you have finished should be good for a laugh. How are you going to mould it into shape and it will weigh a tonne and look pretty shite.

No I havn't. But thanks for you information. I'm not gonna do this if it's such a ball ache. I didn't realise so much would be required.
