6.20m = 20 feet 4 inches so you'll be fine if the max unit length is 21 feet.

Ohh, lazy! No, I'm not going to do it for you. Google for your tent, find an online shop showing the footprint dimensions then Google up a meter-foot calculator. Easy!

You should always know your footprint size anyway when booking, so if they ask what it is you can get pitch size sorted out on the spot.

Yes, don't worry about your tent it is a good size and will fit on pitches no problem.

It's more the pod tents that some sites have problems with - it's their width 7m or more (well anythign over 5m wide usually).
Tents like Hartfords, Diablos etc that have the central living area and sleeping pods off that. Some sites will charge for an extra pitch some just extra pitching fee and some not take them at all.
You fit less of that sort of tent onto a field!!

Pardon?

39 inches/3 feet 3 inches in a metre and 91 centimeters/0.91m in a yard, actually.  Approximately anyway.
