Material & Quantity

The deterministic material & quantity cluster — the highest-demand fence queries: a fence calculator (line ft → posts + rails + pickets/panels + concrete bags), a fence post calculator (count + spacing), a picket / board count calculator, a fence panel calculator, a fence rail calculator, a concrete-per-post / post-hole bags calculator across 40/50/60/80 lb, a post-hole depth reference, a fence gate width & post calculator, and a fence area / paint-stain quantity calculator. A post depth here is a labeled planning typical + a concrete bag quantity, never a structural or geotechnical design — call 811 before you dig.

Confirm panel/picket dimensions and bag yield against your product and order a little extra (~10%) for waste, corners, terrain and uneven runs. Panel sizes, picket widths, gaps and bag yields vary by product and brand.
Typical industry planning values — NOT a structural/geotechnical design. Frost depth, soil, wind load and local code set the real post depth and footing; check your local building department and call 811 to locate utilities before you dig. A licensed engineer sizes load-bearing or high-wind fence posts.
Fence calculatorAll-in-one fence calculator: enter length, post spacing and style to get posts, sections, rails, pickets and concrete bags for the post holes, with the formula.Fence post calculatorFence post calculator: how many posts for your fence? Enter length and spacing to get line posts, sections and total posts including gates, ends and corners.Picket / board count calculatorPicket and board count calculator: enter fence length, picket width and gap to get how many pickets you need, with a waste allowance and the formula.Fence panel calculatorFence panel calculator: enter fence length and panel width to get how many pre-built panels and posts you need, with the formula and a worked example.Fence rail calculatorFence rail calculator: enter length, post spacing and rails per section to get how many horizontal rails or stringers your fence needs, with the formula.Concrete per post calculatorConcrete per fence post calculator: enter hole size, post width and bag size to get bags per post and the total for 40, 50, 60 and 80 lb bags.Post-hole depth referenceHow deep should fence posts be? A labeled planning reference: buried depth is about one-third of the above-ground height plus a 6-inch gravel base.Fence gate width & post calculatorFence gate width and post calculator: enter leaf width and gaps to get the rough opening, gate posts and the hinge, latch and drop-rod hardware count.Fence area / paint-stain calculatorFence stain and paint calculator: enter length, height, sides and coverage to get the face area and gallons of stain or paint you need, with the formula.

Every Material & Quantity tool is calculated server-side — visible immediately — with its formula, a worked example and a reference table, and works on the measurements you take and the prices you enter from your own quotes. Background reading is in the guides.
