Discover the simplicity of converting square chains to square poles with our intuitive tool designed to provide quick and accurate conversions for land measurement.
A 'chain' is a unit of length that was commonly used for measuring land distances. It is part of the imperial system of measurement and is equivalent to 66 feet, 22 yards, or 100 links. Historically, the chain was used by surveyors to measure land and property for legal and commercial purposes, owing its name to the heavy metal chain that was used as a measuring device.
Definition of PoleA 'pole' is another unit of length also known as a rod or perch. It measures 5 and a half yards or 16 and a half feet. The pole has been historically used in various cultures for measuring land areas, and it is often used in conjunction with other units like chains and furlongs to define acreages and plot sizes in land surveying.
