Measuring for Your FabPole Fabric

FabPole Fabric is a low-stretch fabric specially designed and sized to create a grip similar to a standard 45mm pole. When holding both fabric tails in one hand and the pole in the other, the grip should feel balanced and comfortable.


How Much Fabric Do I Need?

To determine the minimum amount of FabPole Fabric needed, you'll first need to know the height of your pole.

Standard Measurements (Feet & Yards)

Step 1: Measure your pole height in feet.

Step 2: Double the pole height.

Step 3: Add 1-2 feet for rigging and the fabric tail.

Step 4: Divide the total by 3 to convert feet to yards.

Formula:

(Pole Height × 2 + 1-2 ft) ÷ 3 = Fabric Length in Yards

Example: 8 ft Pole

  • 8 ft × 2 = 16 ft

  • 16 ft + 2 ft = 18 ft

  • 18 ft ÷ 3 = 6 yards

Metric Measurements (Meters)

Step 1: Measure your pole height in meters.

Step 2: Double the pole height.

Step 3: Add approximately 0.3-0.6 m for rigging and the fabric tail.

Formula:

(Pole Height × 2 + 0.3-0.6 m) = Minimum Fabric Length in Meters

Example: 2.4 m Pole

  • 2.4 m × 2 = 4.8 m

  • 4.8 m + 0.6 m = 5.4 m

Rounded up, you would order approximately 5.5 meters of fabric.

A Few Tips

  • If your calculation results in a fraction, round up to the next yard or half-meter.

  • These calculations provide the minimum recommended fabric length.

  • You're not limited to your pole height. FabPole can be used on poles of any height by placing the Nexus Wrap at your preferred working height.


When in doubt, order a little extra. Having additional fabric offers more versatility and can easily be adjusted with your Nexus Wrap placement. 💜
