How to calculate how much lattice to purchase?

kyehos

I want to install plastic lattice work on 2 decks around the house [to prevent dogs going over the side - existing railings are not up to spec]

I need 84' total of lattice which is 2560cm.

Lattice is 1800cm height, 900cm width

I would cut lattice into 3 sections of 600cm to use

Question :  how much lattice should I buy?

If you can assist me I would be very grateful.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @kyehos. It's brilliant to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about lattice.

The lattice would be more than likely 1800 x 900 millimetres, not centimetres. So, if you cut that into three pieces, the individual pieces will be 600 x 900mm. 

You can work out the number of lattice sheets you'll need by dividing 2560cm by 90cm, which is 28.4 let's call it 29. Divide 29 by three (as you get three panels per lattice sheet), and you get 9.6. Rounded up, you'd need 10 lattice sheets.

Please let me know if you have further questions.
