How to Use This Tool
- Enter total fence perimeter in feet.
- Enter panel width.
- Enter post spacing (8 ft standard).
- Enter number and width of gates.
- Click Calculate.
The Formula
Panels = (Perimeter - Gate Widths) / Panel Width. Posts = Perimeter / Spacing + 1. Concrete: ~1.5 bags per post hole.
Why It Matters
You want a 200ft perimeter fence with 6ft tall wooden panels. Each panel is 8ft wide, so you need 25 panels. Posts every 8ft plus corners: 28 posts total. At $35/panel and $12/post, materials cost ~$1,057.
