The following formula will tell you how long your ties should be to hang on 29.3%, 1/3 Basis, 1/2 Basis or 2/3 Basis.

1. Multiply the stretched mesh size times the number of mesh you wish to put on each tie. This will give you the total distance these mesh will stretch.

2. If you wish to hang on 29.3% ratio, multiply this by 70.7% to get your tie length. Note: This 29.3% ratio makes your mesh the same height and length.

3. If you wish to hang on 1/3 Basis, multiply this by .667 to get your tie length. (33.3% ratio)

4. If you wish to hang on 1/2 Basis, multiply this by .50 to get your tie length. (50.0% ratio)

5. If you wish to hang on 2/3 Basis, multiply this by .333 to get your tie length. (66.7% ratio)

Example:
3" sq. mesh = 6" str. mesh
8 mesh per tie

6" x 8 = 48" is the total distance the 8 mesh will reach.
48 x .707 = 34" ties for 29.3% ratio
48 x .667 = 32" ties for 33.3% ratio (1/3 Basis)
48 x .500 = 24" ties for 50.0% ratio (1/2 Basis)
48 x .333 = 16" ties for 66.7% ratio (2/3 Basis)
