Fence Material Calculator
Estimate posts, rails, and pickets from length and spacing.
What this calculator does
Fence Material Calculator estimates outcomes from your inputs using deterministic browser-side formulas.
How it works
Estimates post, rail, and picket quantities from fence length, spacing, and gate assumptions.
- Enter your values in the input fields.
- Adjust options to match your scenario.
- The calculator applies the model to your inputs.
- Review the result and compare alternate scenarios.
Example calculation
Sample scenario:
- Fence length: 165 ft
- Post spacing: 6 ft
- Gates: 1
- Estimated posts: 29
FAQs
How should I use Fence Material Calculator?

Formula
posts = ceil(total_length / post_spacing) + 1; pickets = ceil((total_length * 12) / (picket_width + gap))Modeling assumptions
- Uses deterministic formulas and standard unit definitions from the selected mode.
Planning guidance
Material outputs are estimates. Verify local code, supplier yields, and jobsite conditions before ordering.
