How it works

Estimates posts, panels, and rails for a straight fence line with gates.

Who it's for: Homeowners planning fence materials before purchasing.

Sections = ceil(length ÷ spacing); posts ≈ sections + 1 + gates.

How to use

  1. Enter Fence length, Post spacing, and Gates.
  2. Buy a few extra posts for corners and slope adjustments.
