I think your maths has an error. The formula for the circumference of a circle is "circumference = pi*d" or "circumference = pi*2*r"

The formula you gave is for the area of a circle. "area = pi*r^2" (pi times r-squared)

You happen by luck to get the right result because half area = (pi*2^2)/2 = pi*4/2 = 6.25

and half circumference = (pi*2*2)/2 = pi*4/2 = 6.25

however for an 8 foot wide bed: half area = (pi*4^2)/2 = pi*16/2 = 50

and half circumference = (pi*4*2)/2 = pi*8/2 = 12.5

Love this, thanks so much! I will be using this to make my cold frames for my garden beds since our growing season is so short here in Michigan. :)
