Calculation Breakdown:

â€ĸ Fence length: 100 feet

â€ĸ Post spacing: 8 feet on center

â€ĸ Posts needed: 14 posts (13 sections)

â€ĸ Rails: 13 sections × 3 rails = 39 rails

â€ĸ Rail linear feet: 312 feet

â€ĸ Pickets per section: 24 (3.5" wide + 0.5" gap)

â€ĸ Total pickets: 24 × 13 = 312 pickets

â€ĸ Concrete: 1 bag per post = 14 bags

💡 Pro Tip:

Set posts in concrete 2-3 feet deep for stability. Use pressure-treated lumber for posts and rails. Space pickets with a 1/2" gap for wood expansion. Add 10% extra materials for waste and future repairs.
