Information
An online calculator in construction is an indispensable tool: it allows you to calculate the quantity of consumable and construction materials needed for the erection and finishing of buildings and structures. For a fence, as a universal and commonly built object, the convenience of online calculation is hard to overestimate. The picket fence calculator will help quickly and accurately calculate the required amount of materials.
Pickets can be made not only from lumber but also from metal. The standard dimensions of wooden pickets are 50, 70, or 100 mm wide, and metal pickets range from 40-180 mm (custom sizes and colors are also possible). Calculating metal pickets using our online tool significantly simplifies the planning process of construction.
Most often, pickets are installed in a single row: these are individual slats attached to rails — long crosspieces. For a fence up to two meters high, at least two such crosspieces are required. To calculate the number of pickets per meter of fence, simply enter all necessary parameters into our calculator.
The second option is the "checkerboard" pattern, where pickets are arranged in a staggered order on both sides of the fence. This makes the fence almost opaque. The online calculator will also help calculate metal pickets for this type of fencing.
Our calculation tool stands out for its high convenience: it is simple, does not require special knowledge or skills. Each value used for the calculation is labeled — just read the explanations carefully.
In addition to the ease of use, the tool is notable for its accuracy: it allows you to determine the amount of materials and their cost with minimal, almost negligible, error. For significant fence lengths, this will play an important role in the budget. This is especially important for euro picket fences, where every detail matters.
Calculation
Calculating pickets for a fence does not require significant effort, just specify the following parameters:
- length and height (in mm);
- dimensions of the slats – width and length;
- distance between the slats;
- height and spacing of posts;
- price of each material.
Calculating pickets for a fence is simple, and the future structure's appearance is shown schematically – this is convenient for builders and owners. As a result, the user is provided with the following information:
- visual assessment of the structure;
- number of slats of specified sizes;
- number and length of posts and rails;
- total cost of materials.
With such a tool, calculating pickets for a fence will be convenient in just a few seconds. If you do not know how to calculate parameters for a euro picket fence, our calculator will become an indispensable assistant.
