How to calculate
Start with a rectangular perimeter, then subtract edges that your installation plan does not require you to restrain. The result assumes cut pieces can be reused.
Worked example
Length (ft): 16 · Width (ft): 12 · Unrestrained perimeter to exclude (ft): 0 · Length per piece (ft): 6 · Extra material (%): 10.
These inputs produce 11 edging pieces. Change the measurements above to match your project.
Before you order
Curves, separate runs, corners and offcuts can increase piece count. Spikes and fasteners are not included; use the manufacturer’s spacing.
For an irregular footprint, split the project into rectangles. Calculate each section and combine unrounded quantities before rounding the final order. Ask the supplier to confirm product yield and available package sizes.
Common questions
Is the allowance an installation recommendation?
No. It is an editable purchasing buffer. Cuts, spills and product requirements vary. Confirm the allowance for your layout.
Does this include installation costs?
Only prices you explicitly enter are included. A material-only result is not an installed quote. Request an itemized quote for site preparation, access, removal, drainage, labor, delivery and tax.
