Calculating fence materials

Fence posts go every 2–2.5 m — spacing depends on infill weight and wind load. In Latvia posts are concreted below frost depth, typically 0.9–1.2 m, with a Ø20–25 cm concrete footing. Rail count is set by height: two are enough up to 1.5 m, taller fences need three.

The calculator counts posts including gate posts, rails, infill (boards, louvre or panel) and concrete for the holes, adding caps and fixings. Enter the total length and height — you get a full list with packaging and approximate costs.

Calculating fence posts and infill

Post count depends on total length, selected spacing, corners and gate assemblies. End and gate posts are often different from intermediate posts, so plan them separately. The calculator totals posts, rails, infill, fixings and concrete.

Wind, soil, frost and fence height affect post section, footing depth and spacing. The calculator helps with quantity but does not replace construction selection.

  • Subtract gate width from normal infill length.
  • Add posts at corners and height changes.
  • Check underground services and boundaries before excavation.

Frequently asked questions

How should post count be rounded?

Round the number of bays up; a straight fence line normally has one more post than bays. Corners and gates change the count.

How much concrete is needed per post?

It depends on hole diameter and concrete depth. The calculator uses geometric volume, while a real hole may be irregular.

Does the calculator determine post depth?

No. Depth and footing type depend on soil, frost, height and wind.
