Going all the way round a 50×100 ft yard takes 300 ft of fence before you take off the gate.
How the length is worked out
Linear feet = the sum of every side − gate openings. Posts are counted side by side at your spacing.
Example: sides of 50, 100, 50, 100 ft add up to 300.0 ft; take off 4 ft of gates and you need 296.0 ft of fence.
Common questions
How do I measure for a fence?
Measure each straight side along the line where the posts will go, in feet or metres. Add the sides and subtract gate openings.
Should I add extra?
Add a little for slopes and for cuts, but the linear length is what contractors quote on.
