Fence Material Calculator by Online Tool Base
Secure Your Perimeter. The Fence Calculator at Online Tool Base estimates the lumber and hardware required to build a standard wood privacy or picket fence. Fencing is a major investment, and accurate material lists are key to staying on budget.
Component Breakdown
A fence isn't just "wood". onlinetoolbase.online breaks it down into purchasable units:
- Posts: Calculated based on standard 8ft spacing, including corner and end posts.
- Rails: The horizontal supports (usually 2 or 3 per section) that hold the pickets.
- Pickets: The vertical boards. We calculate the count based on board width and spacing.
- Concrete: Don't forget the bags of ready-mix needed to set each post!
Planning Your Boundary
Whether you are keeping pets in or prying eyes out, planning is the hardest part. This tool assumes a straight run, so for complex yards, calculate each side separately and add them up.
How to Use
- Enter total Fence Length.
- Select Picket Width (e.g., 6" dog ear).
- Number of Rails (2 or 3).
- Calculate to get your shopping list.
