Budgeting

What the online number means.

Is this an installed price?

No. The calculator multiplies the protected length by the selected layout's material rate. It is a starting budget, not a delivered or installed quotation.

What else changes the total?

Freight, installation, anchoring, access, permits and the final site design need to be reviewed for a firm price. The estimate does not include concrete anchors.

How do I choose a rate?

Start with the site rather than the least expensive line. Tell the estimator what you are protecting, the wave height, the water depth and the protected length. You may also select a specific layout if you already know it.
