Fence-run, section and post planning.
Total run, gate openings, post spacing and extra corners or ends.
Fence runs, sections and a preliminary post count.
Gate posts, wind, soil, footing depth and local requirements need a separate design check.

Add waste and round to complete bags, boxes, cans, bundles or delivery quantities.
Review product coverage, site conditions, local requirements and supplier details before ordering.
Estimate fence sections and post count from run length and a maximum planning spacing.
Use the result card above to copy, print or share the estimate, then verify the final order with the product label or supplier quote.
The fence run is divided by your maximum planning spacing, then rounded up to a whole number of sections. Posts are counted at section boundaries, with a separate input for extra corners or ends.
A 120 ft run with an 8 ft maximum interval creates 15 sections before adding any extra corner or end posts.
Planning only: this calculator does not select code-required spacing, structural dimensions, footing depth, wind design, or gate-post requirements. Use the applicable design and local requirements.
The calculator treats your spacing as a maximum and divides the run into equal sections that do not exceed it.
Use the extra-post input for project-specific corners, ends, or other additional posts.
No. It estimates count and spacing only.
