You can put this solution on YOUR website! If you place one post on each corner you will use 4
if you place one one each corner and one in the middle you will use 8
if you use one on each corner and two between them you will use 12 posts
if each side therefore has 4 posts then each side is 15 feet wide

15*15=225
