Practical measuring tips
- Calculate each straight run separately when corners or gates change post count.
- Confirm local utility marking, frost-depth, permit, and setback requirements.
- Gate hardware, corner posts, and terminal posts are not added automatically.
Formula
What the result includes
The run is divided into bays; a straight run uses one more post than bays, and pickets use width plus gap.
Whole-item results such as bags, rolls, blocks, and pallets are rounded up. Decimal volume or weight results remain estimates so you can compare bulk options.
