Frequently Asked Questions
To calculate fence materials, you need to know the total fence length, fence type, post spacing, and number of corners and gates. Our calculator does all the math for you based on standard construction practices.
For a 100-foot fence with standard 8-foot spacing between posts, you would need approximately 13 posts (including corner posts). Our calculator provides an exact count based on your specific measurements.
The standard spacing for fence posts is typically 6 to 8 feet for wood and vinyl fences, and up to 10 feet for chain-link fences. Closer spacing may be needed for taller fences or in areas with high wind.
Fence costs vary by material: wood fences cost $15-30 per foot, vinyl $20-40 per foot, chain-link $10-20 per foot, and aluminum $20-35 per foot. Our calculator can provide cost estimates if you input material prices.
