How The Calculator Works

This tool automatically calculates the optimal number of panels and posts for your specific layout based on our 6ft (1.83m) and 8ft (2.44m) panel systems.

Panel Calculation:

The calculator subtracts any gate opening widths from your total fence run, then divides by the panel width to determine the number of panels required. Partial panels are rounded up to a full panel, which may need to be cut to size on-site.

Post Calculation:

Based on your layout, the tool calculates the exact number of End, Line, and Corner posts needed. Blank posts for gate openings are also included if required.

Post Types Explained:

  • End Posts: Mark the start and finish of any continuous section of your fence.
  • Line Posts: Connect panels in a straight run, placed between your End and Corner posts.
  • Corner Posts: Create a 90-degree turn in your fence line.
  • Blank Posts: A stand-alone post when your gate is on either side of the fence run.
