Fence Panel Calculator

Calculate the number of pre-built fence panels needed.

How It Works

Panels = ceil(Fence length ÷ Panel width).

Example

60 ft of fence with 8 ft panels: 60 ÷ 8 = 7.5 → 8 panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size are pre-built panels?

Common widths are 6 and 8 ft, in heights of 4, 5, and 6 ft.

Do panels include posts?

No — panels span between posts, so you still need posts at each joint and gate.

How do I handle odd lengths?

Round up to full panels; the last section can be trimmed or custom-built.
