FAQ
Should I add extra posts?
Include additional posts for gates, corners, or changes in direction.
Does this account for post width?
No, the spacing is center-to-center; adjust if your posts are especially wide.
What if the fence length isn't a multiple of the spacing?
The last section may be shorter; you can slightly adjust spacing to distribute differences.
Can I use feet instead of meters?
Yes, as long as both length and spacing use the same unit, the result will be correct.
Additional Information
- Result counts posts at both ends of the fence.
- Spacing is measured from the center of one post to the center of the next.
