Sailrite Fabric Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Total Fabric Needed (F) is:

\[ \text{F} = \frac{(\text{L} + \text{H}) \times \text{W}}{36} \]

Where:

\(\text{F}\) is the total fabric needed in yards
\(\text{L}\) is the length of the project in inches
\(\text{H}\) is the height of the project in inches
\(\text{W}\) is the width of the project in inches

What is Sailrite Fabric?

Sailrite Fabric is a high-quality material used for various applications such as upholstery, outdoor furniture, boat covers, awnings, and other marine and outdoor applications. It is known for its durability, water resistance, UV protection, and resistance to mildew and fading. Sailrite, the company that produces this fabric, offers a wide range of fabric types including Sunbrella, Phifertex, and more, each designed to withstand specific environmental conditions.

Example Calculation

Let's assume the following values:

Length of the Project (L) = 100 inches
Height of the Project (H) = 50 inches
Width of the Project (W) = 20 inches

Using the formula:

\[ \text{F} = \frac{(100 + 50) \times 20}{36} = \frac{150 \times 20}{36} = \frac{3000}{36} \approx 83.33 \]

The Total Fabric Needed (F) is approximately 83.33 yards.
