Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate fencing posts?
Post count = (Total fence length ÷ Post spacing) + 1. This accounts for posts at both ends.
What spacing is best for fence posts?
6-8 feet is standard for panel fences. Reduce to 4-6 feet for high wind areas or decorative panels.
How many panels do I need?
Panel count = Total fence length ÷ Panel width. Additional panels should be ordered for waste.
How much should I allow for gates?
Each gate typically spans one panel width. Adjust your total fence length appropriately when planning gates.
What about cross bracing or tensioning?
Our calculator gives basic material requirements. Additional hardware and bracing should be accounted for separately.
