Compare mesh roll widths for several screens
Use a cutting layout rather than total area alone to compare purchases.
Open Screen Mesh Cut Planner →Area is not enough
A roll may have more than enough square area and still be too narrow for a single required cut. The calculator checks each rectangle against the roll’s width and length. If rotation is allowed, it also tests the turned orientation. Disable rotation when the product or desired installation direction requires the mesh to remain aligned. A cut that does not fit is listed as a failure rather than silently omitted.
Compare the whole purchase
The two roll options use prices you enter, so both should use the same currency and purchase basis. A 25 foot roll is 300 inches, or 762 centimeters. Cost includes whole rolls only. Taxes, delivery, spline and tools are excluded. The unused-area figure includes offcuts and empty parts of every purchased roll; it is not a promise that all that material will be convenient to reuse.
Inspect the proposed arrangement
Each roll has its own selectable diagram. Piece names and cut dimensions identify where each screen goes. The algorithm is a rectangle-packing heuristic, not a proof of the smallest possible purchase. Compare the diagrams with your actual roll, allow for damaged material and final installation requirements, and keep offcuts labeled if you intend to reuse them. The downloaded diagram is not a full-size cutting template.
