Smart Fencing Calculator is a complete fence calculator for contractors and homeowners — work out posts, pickets, rails, concrete, stain and the total cost of a job before you buy a single board.
WORK OUT WHAT THE JOB NEEDS

• Pickets per 100 linear feet, rails, kickboard and bottom rail
• Concrete footing bags, plus concrete vs tamped earth
• Gate and hardware, lattice toppers and privacy inserts
• Screws, fasteners and sealant tubes
• A waste factor that reflects how fence material is actually cut
WORK OUT WHAT IT COSTS
• Fence cost per linear foot
• Materials cost breakdown
• Labor cost per linear foot and install labour time
• Fence removal, repair and replacement cost
• DIY vs hiring, and multi-year maintenance cost
