  3. Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.

The method, explained

Total horizontal run = tread depth × tread count.

A WORKED EXAMPLE

Using tread depth = 280 mm, number of treads = 15, the result is 4200 mm. Change these example inputs to match your task; use the method above to check each step.

What to keep in mind

A material-quantity estimate, not a structural design or building-code check. Confirm site measurements, supplier coverage and waste before ordering.

Common questions
