Farmville on Facebook: Item Size Guide - How Much Space Does Each Item Need?

Design Your Farm Effectively! Bookmark This Guide for Future Reference

Jessie Kay
While growing crops is fun, decorating your Farmville farm is even more exciting! Unfortunately, there's only so much space on which to build your Farmville farm on Facebook. By efficiently laying out your Farmville farm, you'll be able to show off your cool decorations as well as grow crops and level up to unlock new buildings and crops. This reference guide shows you exactly how much space each item in Farmville takes up, so you can design your layout and not waste money on items for which you do not have room.

A quick note before getting into the details...
1x1 is the smallest square a Farmville item can occupy. For example, all trees occupy a 1x1 space. Crops actually occupy a 4x4 space, not a 1x1 space. For example, in the space a crop grows, four trees can fit in its space.

Any item that comes in multiple colors or varieties (Sheep, Hay Bales, Outhouses, etc) takes up the same amount of space. These items are listed once to make the list a little shorter.

Here are the sizes for each item in Farmville:

    Just a quick comment, failmath happened :(

    You can actually fit 16 trees where 1 plot would be.
