This requires "Dependant" attributes to do correctly and ZenCart does not have support for dependant attributes

A work around you might find acceptable would be to divide up your product offerings into your stock max dimensions or standard dimentions where you maximize use.

Could be widths of upto with a max length
24inch
36inch
48inch
etc

Then add attricutes for depths

Results in more individual products but workable
