How this calculator works
Subtract gate widths from total run. Panels = ceiling(net run ÷ post spacing). Posts = panel count + one end post + two additional posts per gate. Pickets divide net inches by picket width plus gap. Concrete is cylindrical hole volume minus an equivalent round post volume. Corners, shared gate posts, slopes, and separate fence runs require layout review.
Use current quotes, local rates, and measured dimensions to make this estimate useful for your situation.
Frequently asked questions
Are gate posts included?+
Yes, two supports per gate are added conservatively. Shared supports or multiple separate runs can change the actual count.
Can I use the height to size posts?+
No. Height, wind exposure, soil, frost depth, and local rules determine structural requirements. This tool estimates quantities only.
