🛠️ How This Calculator Works
Divides fence length by panel width to count panels, adds end posts plus 2 per gate, then totals materials and labor.
📐 Formula
Panels = ⌈length / panel width⌉; Posts = panels + 1 + gates × 2📝 Example Calculation
150 ft, 6 ft panels, 1 gate, $16/LF labor: Panels = 25; Posts = 28 Materials ≈ $5,500; Labor = $2,400 Total ≈ $7,900 ($53/LF)
💡 Pro Tips from Fence Builders
- Choose Series 2 (residential), 3 (pool/HOA) or 5 (commercial) by use.
- Powder coat lasts 20+ years before any touch-up.
- Self-closing pool gates are required by most municipal codes.
