The Fence calculator helps to calculate the amount of fencing material that you have to complete your fencing project. This calculator calculates the material needed (number of posts, fences, rails, concrete, pickets) for those who want a convenient way to plan and budget for their fencing needs.
Let’s find out what type of dimensions a fence calculator needs to provide quick calculations. This identifies how to use it!

Results Summary:
“A fence is a structure that serves as a boundary or barrier, typically made of posts and wire or boards”
A picket fence is a specific type of fence adorned with vertical boards as shows in the below picture.
Number of Posts = (Fence Length / Post Spacing) + 1 (Round The Result Up)
Number of Sections = Number of Posts – 1
Post Length = Fence Height * 1.5
Total Number of Rails = Number of Rails Per Section * Number of Sections
Total Number of Pickets = Fence Length in Inches / (Picket Width + Picket Spacing) (Round The Result Up)
Volume of Concrete = (Hole Volume – Post Volume) * Number of Posts
Cuboid Post Volume = Post Width * Post Thickness * Post Depth
Cuboid Hole Volume = (3 * Post Width) * (3 * Post Thickness) * Post Depth in Inches
Cylindrical Hole Volume = (3 * Post Radius)² * Post Depth in Inches * π
Cylindrical Post Volume = Post Radius² * Height of The Buried Part of Post * π
Right here, we will be calculating some parameters regarding fence construction so that you may get through it and understand thoroughly.
Harry is looking to install a 100 ft long wooden fence around his porch. How many posts and rails would be needed for the fence project? (keeping in view the distance between the posts is about 6.6ft and the number of rails would be 6 in each section).
Here we have:
Number of Posts = (Fence Length / Post Spacing) + 1 (Round the Result Up)
= (100ft / 6.6ft) + 1 (Round the Result Up)
= 16.15 (Round the Result Up)
= 16
Now we have:
Number of Sections = Number of Posts – 1
= 16 – 1
= 15
At last:
Total Number of Rails = Number of Rails Per Section * Number of Sections
= 6 * 15
= 90
