    No, it’s 20 (2 times the square root of the sum of 6 squared and 8 squared).

    You're saying - two at each end. The diameter is going to be effected by the inside walls, floor and ceiling that touch the doors.

    2 doors, 8 ft. what separates the doors into two? Then say, there's two feet on either side of the doors, now we have twelve ft. by 40?

    OR - is there ONE door at each end adding up to two?

    No, he means openings like the ends of a paper towel roll. You need to calculate the circumference and multiply by the length to get the square footage of the metal required to make the cylinder.
    In quoting my post, you affirm and agree that you have not been goaded, provoked, emotionally manipulated or otherwise coerced into responding.

    Okay, thanks. His description seemed odd.

    1,004.8 roughly, using 3.14 as pi.

    3.14 x 8 = 25.12

    25.12 X 40 = 1,004.8.
