How to measure your planting area

Most gardens are simple rectangles, so measuring is as easy as multiplying the length by the depth. Use the diagram below as a guide.

Rectangular spaces

Measure the length x depth in metres.

Choose your border width

Pick your length

Longer? Here's how to measure

If your border is longer than one roll, simply combine two or more border lengths to cover the full area.

For example

If your border is 14m long, choose two 7m borders.

FAQs

Keen to dig deeper into everything that Garden on a Roll has to offer? Take a look at our FAQs for a better understanding of how we roll. 

To prepare your soil, mix 40–50L of our premium peat-free compost per square metre into the top layer. This improves drainage and boosts nutrients. If you’ve added compost, wait a few days before planting so it can settle naturally.

You can plant any time between February and November, avoiding harsh frosts or extreme heatwaves. These conditions help your new plants establish safely.

Every border comes with a paper template that shows you exactly where each plant should go. Simply lay it out, cut the crosses, and plant through the holes for perfect spacing and design consistency.
