Calculate fence materials:

1. Determine total number of lineal feet and subtract footage for gates

2. Calculate # of fence panels needed: Total lineal feet divided by panel width (feet) = total # of panels

Note: panels can be cut to shorter width if necessary

3. Calculate # of posts needed:

• 1 post per panel + 1 end post to end the fence run

• 1 end/gate post per gate
