Formula, assumptions & limitations

Inputs used: Fence run (ft); Gate width total (ft); Panel/section width (ft); Waste (%); Post spacing (ft); Panel price ($); Post price ($); Gate allowance ($); Concrete bags per post; Concrete price/bag ($).

Method: Subtracts gate openings, adds waste to panel coverage, and calculates posts independently from the selected spacing.

Corners, terrain, end posts, hardware, rails, pickets, permit, utility locating, delivery, labor, tax, and local wind requirements may change quantities.

How this tool works

The selected fence length is divided by panel or post spacing, with endpoints and gates handled by the displayed controls.

Limits to know

The post count assumes one continuous run and the entered spacing. Corners, ends, gates, grade changes, wind exposure, frost depth, utilities, code, hardware, rails, and manufacturer requirements require project-specific planning.
