Calculating Your Moss Needs for Your Event
Incorporating moss into your event decor not only adds a touch of nature's elegance but also brings a lush, green backdrop to any setting. Understanding how much moss you need is crucial for achieving the perfect look without under or overestimating your requirements. Here’s a quick guide on how to calculate your moss needs, featuring our Peel N Stick Mossy Rolls as an example.
Understanding Peel N Stick Mossy Rolls
Our Peel N Stick Mossy Rolls are an excellent choice for creating moss-covered surfaces with ease. Before diving into the calculation, let's review some key product details:
Delivery and Shelf Life: Though non-perishable with a long shelf life, we suggest a Tuesday delivery for a Saturday event, allowing ample time for setup.
Storage: Ideal storage is cool and dry, avoiding direct sunlight to prevent fading.
Quantity: Each box contains 12 rolls.
Dimensions: Each roll measures 16x48 inches.
Handling: The moss will shed lightly when handled, so proceed with care.
Safety: Keep away from open flame and note that color tones may vary slightly due to natural variations.
Calculating Your Needs
To calculate how much moss you'll need, start by determining the total area you wish to cover. Here's an example calculation:
Example: Moss Table Runners for 10 Tables
Determine Table Dimensions: Suppose each table is 2.5 feet wide and 8 feet long.
Calculate Single Table Coverage: Convert table dimensions to inches (30x96 inches) since our moss roll dimensions are in inches.
Calculate Area Covered by One Moss Roll: One roll covers 16x48 inches or 768 square inches.
Determine Rolls Needed per Table: Divide the table area by the roll area. For a 30x96-inch table, you'd need two rolls per table, considering overlap and the need for full coverage.
Total Rolls Needed for Event: For 10 tables, you'd need 20 rolls (2 rolls x 10 tables).
Tips for Ordering
Order Extra: Consider ordering an extra box for contingencies, especially if you plan intricate designs or full coverage across various decor elements.
Early Delivery: Utilize the non-perishable nature of moss by scheduling delivery well before your event date. This gives you time to experiment with layouts and designs.
Plan for Shedding: Light shedding is normal. Designate a preparation area to handle moss and simplify cleanup.
