    There are 24 (2x8+2x4) posts around the pool with 4 overlaps, therefore, there are 20 posts in total.

    Among the 8 posts along one side, there are 7 gaps in between them. Hence, the length is 2x7=14yards

    Among the 4 posts on the other side, there are 3 gaps in between them. Hence, the width is 2x3=6 yards
