Fence project planning tool

Privacy fence calculator

Build a shopping list and rough materials budget from each straight fence run.

Layout

Construction mode

Active dimension unit

Fence run lengths (ft)Enter each straight run separated by commas, for example 12, 12. Use net fence lengths excluding gate openings.

Fence height (ft)

Corners (whole count)

Free ends (whole count)

Gate quantity (whole count)

Width per gate (ft)

Each run gets its own section rounding. Gate width is used for gate cost and planning context only; it is not subtracted from the entered net runs. Gate posts are separate from corners and ends. Height is planning context.

Sections and waste

Maximum post spacing (ft)

Panel, picket, and rail waste (%)

Panel sections use the tighter of panel width and maximum post spacing. Site-built sections use maximum post spacing.

Line posts are interior section posts after gate openings. Corner, free-end, and two posts per gate are added separately. This models one continuous run and does not infer overlaps at real-world junctions.

Plan safely before building

This is a materials estimator only. Locate utilities and confirm property boundaries, easements, permits, frost depth, wind and structural requirements, and pool barrier rules locally before construction.
