Information
The corrugated fence calculator is designed to calculate the quantity of materials required for constructing a fencing structure consisting of posts, rails, and metal sheets of corrugated sheeting.
The calculation can be performed for the entire perimeter or for each individual side. To do this, you need to specify the length of only the calculated side. The depth of the hole will be calculated automatically, depending on the height of the fence. Since corrugated sheets have high "wind load" compared to picket fences and mesh fences, their fastening must be done with particular care to counteract wind loads. It is also advisable to use roofing screws with a special rubber washer to prevent rust at the fastening points.
To build a fence from corrugated sheets, you will need to calculate the quantity and cost of building materials. It is best to calculate the corrugated fence using an online calculator. Knowing the dimensions and basic design features of the fence, as well as the price of materials, you will quickly and easily get the final result.
Functions of the Online Calculator
The online calculator is a simple software tool consisting of several data input fields, a "CALCULATE" button, and a set of lines displaying the calculation results.
The corrugated fence online calculator will calculate all necessary values, including the planned gates and wicket. After the calculation, you can save the file in PDF format or print the result with one click of a button.
How to Use the Calculator
To get the final calculation, you need to enter the initial data in the calculator menu:
- The length of the fence sides A, B, C, D in meters.
- The height of the fence in meters.
- The step of the fence posts in meters.
- The number of rails for the fence in pieces.
- The working width of the corrugated sheet in centimeters.
- Check the box in the "Gates, wicket" cell and enter the width of the gates and the width of the wicket in meters.
Next, you need to specify the prices of the materials in the calculator menu fields:
- The price per linear meter of fence post.
- The price per linear meter of fence rail.
- The price per square meter of corrugated sheet.
After entering all the data, click on the "CALCULATE" button. The results of the material calculation and their cost will appear below. Please note, the standard sheet size is 6 m! Without waste, you can only make a fence height of 200 or 150 cm. Making 180 (or other) is also possible, and sometimes it looks even better than standard, but there will be waste.
Reference
Corrugated sheet (profile sheet, corrugated sheeting) is a popular building material widely used in the construction of fences, wall facades, and roofing of buildings. It is a metal sheet made from galvanized steel by cold rolling. During manufacturing, it undergoes profiling, i.e., giving it a wavy, trapezoidal, or other profile to increase the rigidity of the material.
Rails are long bars used in the construction of fences. They are attached to vertical posts, connecting them and serving as a support for attaching corrugated sheeting, picket fencing, etc. They are made of wood or steel pipes of round or profile section.
To calculate the posts needed for a corrugated sheet fence, the calculator considers the height and length of the fence, as well as the step between the posts. The calculation of the corrugated sheet fence with gates and a wicket allows you to accurately determine the quantity and cost of materials for the fence, which is especially important when planning the budget.
