About these calculators

A fence estimate starts with the total run length and the post spacing. Every gate, corner and change of direction adds posts, so sketch the fence line before you measure.

Local rules often control fence height, setback and materials, and boundary fences may need a neighbour's agreement. Check with your local planning or building authority before buying materials.
