How the fence estimate works

Enter the total fence length, panel width, and number of gates. The calculator estimates the panel count and the posts needed to support the run.

Measure before buying

  1. Confirm property lines and the exact fence path.
  2. Measure the full run in feet.
  3. Mark planned gate locations and widths.
  4. Check the actual panel width sold by your supplier.
  5. Verify post spacing and installation requirements for your fence system.

Do not forget

Concrete, rails, brackets, fasteners, caps, gate hardware, stain or sealer, permit fees, and utility marking are separate from the basic panel and post estimate.
