Drip Edge Calculator
Estimate drip edge for eaves and rakes with a waste factor so you can order the right stick count for porch roofs, garages, and full re-roofs. Use it to plan full perimeter coverage and avoid coming up short on trim lengths.
Inputs
Tip: Add waste for overlaps, corner cuts, and starter strip returns.
Results
Total drip edge length
154 ft
Number of sticks
16
Based on 10 ft stock length.
