Fence Calculator

Planning a fence starts with one annoying question: how much material do I actually need? Fence Calculator turns your fence length into a complete material list — posts, pickets, rails, concrete bags and screws — and draws the fence so you can see what you are about to build. HOW IT WORKS Type the length of your fence. Pick a style, height and post spacing with a tap. The preview redraws instantly and the material list updates with it. No forms to submit, no waiting. WHAT YOU GET • Posts — count plus the recommended post length (height + 2 ft for the buried part) • Pickets — based on picket width and gap, with gate openings excluded • Rails — per section, matched to the number of rails you choose • Concrete — bag count for 50, 60 or 80 lb bags, switchable right in the list • Screws — estimated by weight so you can grab the right box FEATURES • Live side view — see posts, rails, pickets and gates redraw as you change anything • Three styles — picket with gaps, solid privacy, or rails only • Multiple sections — add each straight run separately; corners get their own posts • Gates — gate openings are removed from the picket count so you do not over-buy • Waste allowance — add 5% or 10% for cuts and defects, or keep it exact • Cost estimate — enter your local unit prices and see the running total • Copy the list — one tap copies everything as text, ready to read at the store or paste into a message • Save your fences — keep several setups and reload them while comparing quotes • Works offline — no account, no sign-up, nothing to load BUILT FOR • Homeowners planning a DIY fence project • Fence and landscaping contractors quoting jobs • Anyone pricing materials before a trip to the lumber yard NOTES ON ACCURACY Post count assumes one post at each end of every run. Concrete is calculated from post count and fence height. Numbers are an estimate to help you plan and shop — always confirm against local building codes and your own site conditions before ordering.
