How to Calculate Fence Calculator
What is Fence Calculator?
A fence calculator estimates the materials needed for a fencing project: posts, panels, concrete, rails, and fixings. It ensures you order the right quantity without expensive surplus.
Step-by-Step Guide
- 1Measure total fence length in metres or feet
- 2For panel fencing: Number of panels = total length / panel width (typically 1.8m/6ft)
- 3Number of posts = number of panels + 1 (posts go between and at each end)
- 4Concrete per post: typically 10–15 kg of dry mix for a 600mm deep, 300mm diameter footing
