When I started out I measured everything meaning my mainline length then got rough measurements of lateral line lengths from the mainline to my end trees for the lats. I ended up with 1300 feet of mainline and 3000 feet of lateral,line. That didn't include the drops. I bought max flow grip and flex for my lateral lime and drops
