The length in linear yards.
A linear yard is a length, not an area and not a volume. Roll goods — geotextile, underlay, membrane, turf, fencing mesh — are sold by the linear yard off a roll of fixed width, so the width is quoted separately and does not enter this conversion.

1 yard = 0.9144 m exactly, defined by the 1959 international yard and pound agreement. Exact by definition. Check whether a quoted "yard" is linear, square or cubic before you convert it.

Roll goods are where this one bites. Geotextile, damp-proof membrane, underlay, turf and fencing mesh are all sold off a roll by the linear yard in the US and by the linear metre almost everywhere else, and the plan being worked from is usually in the other system from the quote. The arithmetic is exact, but the word "yard" is doing three jobs on a typical supplier's price list — linear, square and cubic — and they differ by factors of nine and twenty-seven. Establish which one the price is against first; the conversion is the easy half.
