Jak Korzystać z Tego Kalkulatora

1. 1Measure the total fence length in feet around your property line. Include all straight runs but measure gate openings separately.
2. 2Enter the fence height — standard residential heights are 4 feet (front yard) and 6 feet (backyard privacy).
3. 3Set the post spacing — 8 feet is standard for most wood fences, 6 feet for windy areas or tall fences.
4. 4Click Calculate to get a complete material list including posts, rails, and pickets.

O Tym Materiale

A wood fence consists of three main components: posts, rails, and pickets (or boards). Understanding each component helps you choose the right materials and build a fence that lasts. Posts are the vertical structural members set in the ground. Standard fence posts are 4x4 pressure-treated lumber (3.5 x 3.5 inches actual). For a 6-foot fence, use 8-foot posts — this allows 2 feet of burial depth plus the 6-foot fence height. For corner posts, gate posts, and end posts, upgrade to 6x6 lumber for extra strength. Pressure-treated posts rated for ground contact (UC4A or higher) are essential — untreated wood rots within 2 to 5 years when buried. Cedar and redwood posts offer natural rot resistance but cost 2 to 3 times more than treated pine. Post prices range from $8 to $15 each for 4x4x8 treated pine, $20 to $35 for cedar, and $15 to $25 for 6x6 treated posts. Rails are the horizontal members that connect posts and support pickets. Standard rails are 2x4 pressure-treated lumber cut to the post spacing length (typically 8 feet). Most fences use 2 rails (top and bottom) for heights up to 5 feet, and 3 rails (top, middle, bottom) for 6-foot and taller fences. The top rail sits 6 to 8 inches below the top of the pickets, and the bottom rail sits 6 to 8 inches above the ground. Rails cost $4 to $8 each for 8-foot treated 2x4 lumber. Pickets are the vertical face boards that provide privacy and define the fence appearance. The most common picket is a 1x6 dog-ear board (0.75 x 5.5 inches actual), though 1x4 boards (0.75 x 3.5 inches actual) are used for traditional picket fences. Dog-ear, flat-top, and French Gothic are popular picket profiles. Standard picket spacing is 0 inches for privacy fences (boards touching) to 2 to 3 inches for decorative picket fences. A 6-foot dog-ear picket costs $2 to $5 each in treated pine, $4 to $8 in cedar. For board-on-board or shadowbox styles, increase picket count by 50% since boards overlap. Fasteners matter more than most people realize. Use hot-dipped galvanized or stainless steel nails and screws — standard zinc-plated fasteners corrode within 1 to 2 years when in contact with pressure-treated wood. Each picket requires 6 to 8 screws (2 per rail connection). Budget $30 to $50 per 100 linear feet of fence for screws alone.

Wskazówki Montażowe

• •Call 811 to mark underground utilities at least 3 business days before digging any post holes.
• •Set corner and end posts first, then run a string line between them to align intermediate posts perfectly.
• •Dig post holes 3 times the post width (10 to 12 inches for 4x4 posts) and one-third the total post length deep.
• •Add 4 to 6 inches of gravel at the bottom of each post hole for drainage before setting the post in concrete.
• •Plumb each post with a level on two adjacent sides before the concrete sets.

Najczęstsze Błędy do Uniknięcia

• ⚠Not checking property lines — building a fence even 6 inches over the property line can result in a costly forced removal.
• ⚠Setting posts too shallow — posts buried less than 24 inches will lean or heave in freeze-thaw climates.
• ⚠Skipping the concrete — posts set in dirt alone will loosen and lean. Use at least 2 bags of 50 lb concrete per post.
• ⚠Attaching pickets before concrete fully cures — the weight can push wet-set posts out of plumb. Wait 24 to 48 hours.
• ⚠Not accounting for grade changes — on sloped ground, either step the fence panels or rack them to follow the slope.
