Whole quantities are rounded up.

How it's calculated

Required length = length per run × runs × (1 + waste ÷ 100). Stock count = required length ÷ stock length, rounded up.

Calculations use consistent units for your selected measurements. The waste allowance is applied once to the measured requirement. Whole purchase quantities are rounded up.

What this estimate includes

Quantity is the number of strands. Include tensioning, ties and terminations in the waste allowance.

Quantity and arithmetic estimates only. Use project specifications for installation and design requirements.
