Default How many feet of Roll Bar padding do I need?

I am in the process of buying a Kirk Roll bar and I see that OG racing has a 50% off sale on roll bar padding..... Can anyone give me an idea of how much I need? Thanks!

get 4. top front halo, top left halo, bottom left doorbar, left pillar arm. youll probably have to cut the rolls for your cage, but as always its better to over estimate and have extras.

Rolls? I am looking at the website and I see that they come in 3 foot lengths. So do you mean 12ft? Or is a roll different?

1 roll = 3 foot length. like i said, youll end up cutting, but if you cut and use 2 ft of 1 roll, youre stuck with a possibly useless 1 ft. its easier to use continuous pieces, they tend to roll around and shift positions even if you tighten em hard with zipties, especially when theyre smaller pieces.

You might need about 4 sticks if it's a street car also.
