    How to use the fence panel calculator

    Plan a straight run of fence using a chosen panel width, with posts at both ends.

    Worked example

    For a 12 m straight run with 1.83 m panels, round up 12 ÷ 1.83 to seven panel bays and allow eight posts.

    Before you order

    For a straight run with no gates or corners, posts = panel bays + 1. The final bay may require a cut or custom panel; do not assume a full panel fits. Post foundations, spacing and height must suit local ground and wind exposure. Check boundaries and planning requirements.

    Important checks

    1. Measure the actual project dimensions rather than relying on estimates.
    2. Check packaging quantities, supplier pricing and delivery conditions.
    3. Use the calculator as a shopping estimate, not a structural specification.
