Result
Enter your data or use the example, then run the tool.
Worked example
An open 10 m fence with maximum span 2.5 m needs four panels and five posts; the same closed loop needs four posts.
Method
Divide each fence section by the maximum span and round up to panels, then distribute the span evenly. Sections with the same endpoint name share a post. With automatic connections, closing the loop makes the first and last endpoint one post.
Limits
Only material quantities are planned; foundations, structural strength and wind loads are not assessed. Enter gates as separate sections without subtracting them again. Zero-length sections are ignored; use matching names rather than automatic closure when naming endpoints.
