Fence calculator
Estimate a straight fence run with evenly spaced gates. Compare panel and picket infill, set post spacing and add optional item prices.
How many fence posts and panels do I need?
Enter the total straight run, gate count and gate opening width. The remaining fence is split evenly between the ends and gates. Set the maximum post spacing, panel width or picket width and gap to estimate the two infill options. If gates are not evenly spaced, this estimate will not match the exact layout.
Frequently asked questions
How many fence posts and panels do I need?
Enter the total straight run, gate count and gate opening width. The remaining fence is split evenly between the ends and gates. Set the maximum post spacing, panel width or picket width and gap to estimate the two infill options. If gates are not evenly spaced, this estimate will not match the exact layout.
Are my fence measurements uploaded?
No. This estimate runs in your browser and does not send your measurements to a server.
How many posts does one isolated fence section need?
One straight section needs posts at both ends, so even a short section starts with two posts. This estimate counts both ends of every section and divides each assumed section by the maximum post spacing.
Does it place gates at their exact positions?
No. It splits the remaining fence length evenly between the ends and gate openings because gate positions are not entered. Move the gates or use a measured plan if your sections have different lengths.
