If you order 100 yards or less, you get the quantity of cord that you order in ONE PIECE. In other words, if you order 57.5 yards of lift cord, you will get one length that is 57.5 yards long. If you order more than 100 yards, you will get a 100-yard roll and another separate length for the quantity over 100 yards. Let's say you order 137 yards of cord. You will receive a 100-yard roll and another 37-yard piece. I generally throw in a few extra yards to allow for the fact that you have two pieces. A comment on those 100-yard rolls. Occasionally there is a splice within the roll. This is particularly true of the 1.8 mm cord. I don't unroll the cord to check for splices, but simply throw them in the box. The Hardware Calculator gives you yardage that is pretty accurate without a lot of slack. You may want to add 2-3 yards extra onto that amount rather than run out.
*Tensile Strength means how much weight one cord can hold. Remember that you will always have at least two cords. This cord is STRONG! You never have to worry about it breaking. The size of cord you should use for your shade is counter-intuitive. I use the 1.8 mm lift cord (the heaviest cord) on my narrow (smallest) shades. I ONLY use the 0.9 mm lift cord on my Top-Down shades. I use the 1.4 mm lift cord for everything else. All of the cords are strong and the wider the shade, the more lift cords you will be using. The main concern is how many cords you can get into a cord drop, not the weight of the shade. Back to Shopping
