About these fencing tools

Fencing jobs are won or lost on the takeoff. Order too little and you stall the crew on a second supply run; order too much and the margin walks off the job in leftover pickets and unopened concrete. These free fencing calculators turn a length of fence and a few choices — material, height, post spacing, gates — into a clean bill of materials and a cost you can quote on the spot, whether you build wood privacy, vinyl, chain link, aluminum, or split rail.

Use the Fence Calculator to size posts, rails, pickets or panels, and concrete for the whole run, the Fence Post Concrete Calculator to nail down exactly how many bags each hole needs once you know your post and footing size, and the Fence Stain Calculator to estimate gallons and cost for a fresh stain or a re-seal. Each runs entirely in your browser, saves your inputs between visits, and costs nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate are these fencing estimates?
They use standard fencing math — sections from post spacing, picket coverage from board width, and concrete from hole volume minus the post. They are accurate enough to order materials and quote a customer. Always add the built-in waste allowance and round up, since real runs have corners, slopes, and cut waste.
Which fence types do they cover?
The Fence Calculator handles wood privacy, spaced picket, vinyl privacy, aluminum or ornamental, chain link, and split rail. Switching the material changes the bill of materials automatically — pickets for wood, panels for vinyl and aluminum, fabric and top rail for chain link, and rails for split rail.
Can I use these to quote a customer on-site?
Yes. Enter the fence length and your options, add an installed price per linear foot, and you have a materials list and a total to give the customer before you leave the driveway. Turn that into a professional estimate with Invoicer in a couple of minutes.
