Construction planning

Fence Calculator

Estimate fence panels and posts from total run, panel width, post spacing, and explicit gate assumptions.

Enter fence assumptions

Enter measurements and select Calculate.

Panels and posts

Gate width is removed from total fence length. Panels use the remaining run plus allowance. Line/end posts use entered maximum spacing, with two additional gate posts per gate.

Planning boundary

The model assumes one continuous run with two endpoints. Corners, slopes, terrain, panel cutting, post depth, structure, permits, utilities, and local code require separate planning.
