Fence Calculator
Calculates the materials needed to build a fence, including posts, rails, and pickets, based on the fence's length and height. It also considers the spacing between posts and pickets.
Fence Calculator gives you a faster way to work through practical calculation scenarios without rebuilding the same calculation from scratch every time. Start with Fence Length (feet), Fence Height (feet), Post Spacing (feet), and Picket Width (inches) and use the live outputs to estimate Number of Pickets, Total Rail Length (feet), and Number of Posts in one pass. This page is built to help you compare scenarios quickly, validate rough assumptions, and move into a related calculator when you need a second angle on the same problem.
Use The Calculator In A Few Steps
Work through the inputs deliberately, then compare outputs instead of relying on a single scenario.
