🛠️ 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.
