The garland count

Balloon count: a starting point โ€” the community guides say 8โ€“10 a foot plus 2โ€“7 small fillers, so run your past build's number instead. The mix is the community calculator's default (sourced); the shares go whole by the largest remainder, the total exact (Hamilton's method).

Columns & arches

Layers of four sit 0.841ยทd apart โ€” derived: the next layer rests turned 45ยฐ in the hollows, and the height between layers is โˆš(1 โˆ’ 0.541ยฒ)ยทd. Sourced community check: classic arches run 6 eleven-inch and 12 five-inch a foot, within 5% of this. The layers round up so the build is never short.

Helium & the cylinder

Sempertex 11 in = 0.41 cu ft, 16 in = 1.48 (sourced, BalloonBuilder's calculator); Qualatex 11 in โ‰ˆ 0.5, 16 in โ‰ˆ 1.5 (sourced, to confirm on each maker's chart). Cubic feet left โ‰ˆ rated ร— gauge รท full pressure โ€” derived, slightly low at part pressure: helium compresses. Hi-Float: 96 oz treats 567 eleven-inch (sourced).

These three run the same arithmetic the app's engine unit-tests. The app adds the order sheet, the stock and the bags, the quotes and the labels โ€” on the device, offline.
