Feet to meters converter

How to convert feet and meters

One international foot is exactly 0.3048 meters, so 100 feet is 30.48 meters. An inch is exactly 2.54 centimeters, and a yard is 3 feet or 0.9144 meters.

Horse examples

Competition rulebooks, especially for dressage and international events, give dimensions in meters, while a hardware store sells fence boards by the foot. A standard dressage arena is 20 by 60 meters, which is about 66 by 197 feet, and a small arena is 20 by 40 meters. Jump heights are often quoted in meters or centimeters in international classes and in feet and inches in the United States.

Pricing a project

Once you have the dimensions, the arena sand calculator turns length, width and depth into cubic yards and tons, and the horse fence cost calculator prices a fence run.

Where these numbers come from

Standard conversion factors based on international definitions (the international foot, avoirdupois pound and U.S. gallon). Horse figures are typical ranges from veterinary and extension guidance, and they vary by horse. See how we calculate and the disclaimer.
