The Corrugated Metal Fence Calculator is an advanced tool designed to estimate the quantity of materials required for constructing a corrugated metal fence featuring vertical posts, horizontal rails, and metal panels.
You can perform the calculation for the entire perimeter or for each individual side—simply enter the side length you wish to assess. The depth of the post holes is automatically computed based on the overall fence height. Given that corrugated metal panels are subject to higher wind loads compared to traditional picket or mesh fences, their installation demands extra care to counteract these forces. For improved durability, it is recommended to use roofing screws equipped with specialized rubber washers to prevent corrosion at the fastening points.
When building a fence using corrugated metal sheets, it is important to assess both the amount and cost of the required materials. Our online calculator simplifies this process; by entering the dimensions, design details, and current material prices, you obtain a fast and precise estimate.
This user-friendly software tool offers multiple data input fields, a prominent "CALCULATE" button, and a clear display area to present the computed estimates.
The Corrugated Metal Fence Calculator automatically processes all essential parameters—including dimensions for any planned gates and a wicket. Once the computation is complete, you can conveniently save the results as a PDF or print them with a single click.
To obtain a complete calculation, enter the initial data in the calculator menu:
Next, specify the prices of the materials in the corresponding fields:
Once all the required data is entered, click the "CALCULATE" button. The computed quantities along with the associated costs will be displayed below. Note that the standard metal sheet length is 6 m—typically resulting in fence heights of 200 or 150 cm when used without waste. Although non-standard heights, such as 180 cm, are achievable and may offer visual appeal, they could lead to material waste.
Corrugated metal panels (also known as profile sheets or corrugated sheeting) are highly popular building materials used in fences, wall cladding, and roofing applications. Manufactured from galvanized steel through a cold rolling process, these sheets are given their distinctive shape—wavy, trapezoidal, or similar—to enhance rigidity.
Fence rails are long horizontal bars that connect vertical posts and provide essential support for attaching corrugated metal panels, picket fencing, or mesh. These rails can be made from wood or steel, and are available in either round or profiled sections.
When calculating the number of posts required for a corrugated metal fence, the tool accounts for the fence’s height, total length, and the spacing between posts. This comprehensive evaluation—including provisions for gates and a wicket—delivers an accurate estimation of material quantities and overall cost, an indispensable factor when planning your construction budget.
