Fence Calculator
Estimate how many fence panels and posts are needed for a straight fence run.
How to Use the Fence Calculator
Enter fence length, panel width and post spacing to estimate posts, panels and other basic quantities.
Practical Example
A 30 m fence using 2 m panels needs about 15 panel sections before accounting for gates, corners or layout changes.
Factors That Affect the Result
Gate openings, corner posts, terrain, panel size, post spacing, local wind requirements and installation method can change material needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does the calculator include gates?
Account for gate openings separately unless your inputs already exclude them.
Should corner posts be counted separately?
Yes when the layout has turns or special end posts.
Can I use this for uneven ground?
Yes for a rough estimate, but slopes may require extra planning.

Fence Material Planning
Enter the total fence length along with post or panel spacing to estimate the main materials required. Corners, gates, changes in direction and end posts often need additional components beyond the basic spacing calculation. Sloped ground can also affect panel layout and post length. Use the result as a starting estimate, then add hardware, concrete, gate parts and a small allowance for damaged or cut materials before purchasing.
