To give you a better understanding of the space that is going to be required for your new machine, let’s break it down. As far as the length, you will need right around six feet of free space (though this will depend on the length of the individual model you buy). However, you should also have a few feet of clearance behind it. Estimate around eight to nine feet for the total length. The width, on the other hand, needs to take the desk into consideration (which can vary if you buy a standalone standing desk or not). Figure out the width of that and you have your measurements.
