Four meters?! Da fuck is dat in freedom units?
13 feet or so. Meters are a little over 3 feet so just multiply by 3 and you'll get a close enough answer to visualize.
And then add 10% on top of it to get closer.
I didn't want to confuse the op. If they can't remember a meter is pretty much a yard then asking them to add 10% to a sum might be a bridge too far.
Fair enough. At this scale the 10% doesn’t matter much anyway.

About 4 yard

I hate trucks in particular, and cars, and am re-dedicated to a car-free lifestyle since it's easier than ever with my current work commute. That said, having lived in a heavy winter rural midwest area and trying for years to be car-free there, I hit a breaking point in my situation at the time, and learned that a reasonably sized truck is actually the appropriate tool for such inhospitable tundras.
But again, fuck cars.
