Calculation breakdown

  1. 1Sloped area: 111.48 m² × 1.118 = 124.64 m²
  2. 2With waste: 139.6 m² ÷ 3.09 m²/bundle = 46 bundles
  • Roofing work at height is high-risk — use proper fall protection and see the safety policy.

Roof area = Footprint × Pitch multiplier · Squares = Area ÷ 100.

Bundles = ⌈Squares × (1 + Waste) × 3⌉.

Starter strip ≈ eave perimeter; ridge cap ≈ 35 lin ft per bundle.
