You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The floor is 8*6
Two walls are 8*2
Two walls are 6*2
Multiply, add the products, round UP and multiply times 6.
NOTE: Why round up? because if you need, for example, 1.22 gallons, you have to get 2 gallons. If you buy just 1 you'll be short, and you can't buy 0.22 of a gallon.
