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 18, 30, 18 m add up to 66.0 m; take off 1.2 m of gates and you need 64.8 m 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.
