Fence Calculator

Enter fence length, gate width, post spacing, panel width, and rails per section for a planning estimate.

Total fence run (ft)

Total gate width (ft)

Max post spacing (ft)

Panel width (ft)

Rails per section

Waste allowance (%)

—Approx. line/end posts

—Fence sections

—Panels incl. waste

—Rail length incl. waste

Planning estimate for a mostly continuous run. Corners, grade changes, gate hardware, terminal posts, local frost depth, and structural requirements can change material counts.

Construction field-work cluster

Carry measurement uncertainty into the material decision

Use the exact calculator first, then stress-test realistic field measurement and rounding tolerance before a cut or purchase. Keep structural design, code approval and supplier specifications outside the browser estimate.

Net fence run → spacing → material list

Posts, panels and rails follow different counting rules. Gate width is removed from the fence run before material quantities are planned.

Use the product label as the final purchase input

Coverage, package size, density, pattern repeat and usable yield vary by manufacturer and material. v265 keeps these values editable and shows rounding/overage explicitly instead of presenting a default as a hidden certainty.
