Display fixing position spacer
The display fixing position spacer lists evenly spaced fixing points along a straight edge between two end insets.
Result and working notes
Use 100% print scaling for this record. The sketch is not life-size and must not be used as a cutting pattern. Check measurements against the real materials.
Equal gap: 27.5 cm
This calculates spacing only. It does not specify suitable fixings, load capacity or structural safety.
| Equal gap | 27.5 cm |
| First position from the starting edge | 5 cm |
| Last position from the starting edge | 115 cm |
| Fixing positions from the starting edge | 5, 32.5, 60, 87.5, 115 cm |
Free to use. A free account saves, downloads and prints your results, with no card.
Divide the distance between the first and last positions by one fewer than the fixing count. Adjust the numbers and check the live result before printing your measurement notes.

How the estimate is calculated
Divide the distance between the first and last positions by one fewer than the fixing count. This calculates spacing only. It does not specify suitable fixings, load capacity or structural safety. This utility supports the measuring and preparation work around a display.
It provides plain quantities and dimension notes; custom lettering, bunting artwork, decorations and finished themed packs belong in the display maker. Every result comes from the values you enter, with no model request or invented price.
