How to use this tool

  1. Enter required cover width, required cover length, usable panel width, join overlap, and end hem allowance per end in the displayed units.
  2. Calculate and use each labeled result for shade cloth panel seam allowance. Compare the result with a measured sample before committing materials.

Try this example

{
  "width": 5,
  "length": 8,
  "panel": 2,
  "overlap": 0.1,
  "end": 0.1
}
