Fence Calculator

Count fence panels, posts, gravel boards and post concrete for any fence length.

How this works

Panels = fence length (minus gates) / panel width, rounded up. Posts = panels + 1, plus one per gate. Bury about a quarter of the post: 60 cm for a 1.8 m fence. Each 25 cm wide hole takes about 2 bags of 20 kg post mix.
