how wide is a wyvern with wings streched out
Hi i am planning on building a barn lets say for 1 or 2 wyverns example if you played skyrin in whiterun they got that area in the keep in the city where they traped the dragon something like it but not as flashy lol.

so my question how many foundations wide is a wyvern with its wings out so i can base the size of the build on that thanks for your input.

Well you'll need a behemoth gate to get them in and out so that's a good point of reference already.. which is about 7 foundations accross though the gate frame doesn't fit completely on 7.
The gate itself is about 5 foundations wide.

Going off your example.. Whiterun that was more a long building section than anything so if I was looking to build something like that I'd guess something like 10 foundations wide and about 30-40ish long if you want a couple of Wyverns lined up inside like that.
There probably wouldn't be that much room for them to walk around though.. but on the plus side you could build it tall and have platforms built onto the walls.
So long as the ground is covered in pillars or foundations you won't have to worry about any supports.. a good tip to know if you want to build big bridges in ARK without having to pillar all the way down every 2 blocks.

That's how I was able to leave a big hole in the middle of this wall and make the bridge tunnel above it without it falling down. (No mods)
Much of the wall and gate on the bottom left there are only there to stop wild things roaming in.. they're not actually needed to support the bridge above.

"how wide is a wyvern with wings streched out"

A: Twice as wide as half of it.

If ur still unsure. Fly the wyvern close to.ground. dont land just jump off. Place foundations at the wing tips plus a bit of space and fill in the middle.
Let us know the final answer of u can
