The Landscape Fabric for Rectangle Area calculators computes the number of rolls of landscape fabric need to cover a rectangular area such as a garden or planter. 
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
- (L) Length of Area
- (W) Width of Area
- (FRW) Width of Fabric Roll
- (FRL) Length of Fabric Roll
Landscape Fabric Needed (LSF): The calculator returns the number of standard rolls of landscape fabric both 3'x50' and 6'x50'. The calculator also returns the size of the garden in square feet. However, this can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The calculator computes the area to be covered and then computes the number of rolls of garden/landscaping fabric by dividing the area by the area in a standard roll of garden fabric.

Southwest Boulder & Stone (75 and 500 pack) and Vigoro (100 pack) are to manufactures of garden staples.

Landscape Fabric Calculators
The Landscape Fabric Calculator suite has data and calculators associated with the purchasing and use of landscape fabric used in many lawn and garden applications. The calculator includes the following functions:
- Landscape Fabric for Rectangle Area: Computes the number of rolls of landscape fabric need to cover a rectangular area such as a garden or planter based on the area's length and width and the length and width of the fabric in the rolls.
- Landscape Fabric for Non-squared Four Sided Area: Computes the number of rolls of landscape fabric need to cover a four sided (non-squared) area such as a garden or planter based on the area's length of sides, the length of a diagonal and the length and width of the fabric in the rolls.
- Landscape Fabric for Five Sided Area:
Computes the number of rolls of landscape fabric need to cover a five sided area based on the area's length of sides, the length of two diagonals and the length and width of the fabric in the rolls.
