You can do it as follows:

make a Furniture Family with Shared Parameters (Length type of paramaeters)
load the Family it into the Project
in Project create a Furniture Schedule.
in Furniture Schedule the Shared Parameters appear as Available Fields , so you can Add them to the Schedule
for Perimeter , make a Calculated Value using Formula

I've made two rough screencasts on this subject .

I used a Site Family as you did.

In my first screencast I used locked angles . In the second one parametric angles . Theese angles can appear too as field in the schedule ..
