Fence Material Calculator
Useful for comparing a DIY materials list against professional installation on a standard Granite Bay lot or a longer run on a larger Granite Bay or Loomis property. Enter your fence length and post spacing—8-foot spacing is typical for wood privacy; 6-foot spacing adds stiffness on exposed rear-yard runs.
How this tool works
- Enter total linear feet and choose post spacing (6 or 8 feet).
- Select fence type to estimate posts, rails or panels, and pickets where applicable.
- Use the breakdown to discuss options with your installer or lumber yard.
Assumptions & notes
- Posts are counted at spacing intervals plus one end post; corner and gate posts may need heavier stock on site.
- Wood picket estimates assume standard 3.5-inch pickets on a 6-foot privacy layout.
- Vinyl and prefab panel counts round up to full sections; chain link estimates include line posts and top rail.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use 6-foot or 8-foot post spacing?
Eight-foot spacing is standard for wood privacy on typical Granite Bay lots. Six-foot spacing helps on exposed rear-yard runs or for heavier vinyl panels—your installer can confirm for your site.
Does this include gates?
Gate posts and hardware are not included in the base material list. Add gate posts separately or use the post calculator with your gate locations.
How accurate are picket counts?
Picket counts are rounded estimates for planning. Pattern, board-on-board, and cap-and-trim styles change the number of boards per foot.
