Fence Calculator

Estimate posts, post sections and fence panels for a straight fence run.

Enter the nominal installed width of one fence panel.

How it works

Post sections are rounded up so spacing does not exceed your maximum; posts include both ends. Panel count is independently rounded up from panel width.

posts = ceil(fence length ÷ max post spacing) + 1

Limitations

  • Corners, gates, changes in grade and local footing requirements can add posts or change layout.
