    Hello!

    I'm giving this section of my garden an overhaul. I'm going to lift the bark and the weed control fabric and replace the fabric then lay stone chips.

    It measures 2.7m x 3.7m.
    If weed control fabric comes in a roll of 14x1m, how many rolls do I need please?

    In my mind I need 3 strips (to cover the 2.7m width) measuring approx 4m (for the 3.7m length) long, so I think 1 roll is enough?
    Thanks

    Hi Snowbaby,

    Just calculating roughly you need 3 1m lengths each 4m long = 12 m. A roll = 14m so 1 roll would be enough and you'd have spare for mistakes or doubling over at the edges.
