Loading Tool...
Applications
Perfect for planning residential and commercial fence installations. Helps contractors and DIY homeowners estimate materials for wood, vinyl, or metal fencing projects.
Post Spacing Formula
Number of posts = floor((Total Length - 2 × Post Width) / (Spacing + Post Width)) + 1. Center-to-center spacing accounts for post width to ensure even distribution along the fence line.
Fun Fact: The earliest fences were made of stone and date back over 10,000 years. Modern chain-link fencing was invented in 1844 in the UK!
