Fixing points guide
Count evenly spaced fixing points and whole packs.
Measure and prepare
- Check the units shown for each input. Measure the actual inside dimensions or net area required by this tool.
- Use manufacturer coverage, dose, pack size or your measured flow where applicable. Do not treat example inputs as product recommendations.
- Check the assumptions below, update the starting values and review whole-unit purchase rounding where applicable.
Method and limits
Intervals per row = ceiling(length in cm ÷ maximum spacing). Include both end points: points = intervals + 1. Multiply by rows and pieces per point; add allowance and round pieces and packs up. Shared row ends are counted separately. No load capacity or anchor suitability is assessed.
Worked example
With the editable starting values: 16 pieces including reserve. 7 points per row × 2 rows = 14 points · actual spacing 40 cm · 14 pieces before reserve · 1 box of 20 (20 pieces purchased). Does not assess strength or suitability.
- Length of each row (m): 2.4
- Maximum point spacing (cm): 40
- Number of equal rows: 2
- Pieces of one type per point: 1
- Purchase reserve (%): 10
- Pieces per box: 20
Frequently asked questions
