About this calculator
Formula notes
Posts and sections are based on fence length and post spacing; material quantities are then multiplied by their entered prices.
Worked examples
- Example: a 10 m fence with 2.5 m post spacing needs 5 posts and 4 sections.
- A 24 m fence with 3 m post spacing needs 9 posts before adding gates or special corners.
How to use it
- Enter the fence length, height, and post spacing.
- Choose the layout and enter rail, picket, concrete, and price assumptions.
- Review the estimated quantities and total material cost.
Frequently asked questions
Does this include labor and gates?
No. The calculator estimates the entered material quantities; labor, gates, permits, delivery, and site preparation need separate estimates.
Should I round the number of posts up?
Yes. The calculator rounds required discrete items upward so the layout does not undercount posts or sections.
Limits and interpretation
- Quantity estimates depend on the layout assumptions and do not replace a site measurement for corners, slopes, gates, or property boundaries.
- Material prices are user inputs and can change with region, supplier, waste, delivery, hardware, and the selected fence system.
