How to use
- Enter total perimeter or fence line length in meters.
- Specify desired fence height.
- Set post spacing interval (standard is 2.5 meters).
- Select number of horizontal rail courses (2 or 3 rows).
- Specify sheet profile type or effective sheet coverage width.
- Optionally include gates, access doors, and unit material costs.
- View computed quantities of corrugated panels, posts, rail tubing, and screws.
What Does the Fence Calculator Compute?
Corrugated sheets: quantity based on total run length and panel cover width.
Posts: number of vertical steel columns required based on chosen spacing.
Rail footage: linear meters of horizontal steel tubing needed for the frame.
Fasteners: total self-drilling hex screws with rubber sealing washers.
Concrete volume: cubic meters required to anchor posts below the frost line.
Structural Frame Recommendations
Square tubing (60×60 mm) set 1.0-1.2 m deep resists wind gust loads without deflection.
Cross rails (40×20 mm) are mounted in 2 rows for fences up to 1.8 m, and 3 rows for fences 2.0 m and taller.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the optimal spacing between fence posts?
A spacing of 2.5 meters provides the best balance of wind resistance and material economy.
How many rail rows are needed?
Use 2 rows for fences under 1.8 m; 3 rows are required for fences 2.0 m and above.
Which profile sheet is best for fences?
Profiles with 8 mm to 20 mm corrugation depth (C-8, C-10, C-20) and minimum 0.45 mm steel gauge are standard.
How deep should posts be set?
Anchor posts 1.0 to 1.2 meters deep, below the regional frost penetration line.
How many screws are used per sheet?
Typically 8 to 12 hex head screws with neoprene washers per sheet.
