How to calculate hay storage
This calculator finds total hay storage volume from round bale dimensions and count.
How the calculation works
Volume = π × (Diameter ÷ 2)² × Width × Count of bales.
Example
20 bales, each 5 ft diameter and 4 ft wide: π×6.25×4×20 ≈ 1,571 cubic feet.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Hay Storage
- This calculates the cylindrical volume of round bales — square/rectangular bales need a different (simpler length×width×height) formula.
- Storage space needed is somewhat more than this raw volume due to gaps between stacked round bales.
Common Hay Storage Mistakes to Avoid
- Using this round-bale cylinder formula for square or rectangular bales, which have a different, simpler volume calculation.
