Free fence calculators — cost, materials, posts & more

FenceTally is a set of free, no-signup calculators for planning a fence. Enter your run length and it works out materials, post count and length, concrete bags, picket spacing, stain, and total cost per linear foot — for wood, vinyl and chain link. Built for DIY homeowners who just want the numbers before a lumber-yard trip. Mobile-friendly, no email gate. Also includes plain-English guides on post depth, spacing and choosing a material.
the fact that you skipped the email gate is honestly such a relief, just type the run length and get straight to the materials list. the picket spacing breakdown for wood vs vinyl vs chain link is exactly the kind of detail that usually makes these calculators useless for diy folks.
@elifeakekep6oh Really appreciate this, Elife 🙏 The wood vs vinyl vs chain link breakdown was the whole reason I built it — most calculators pretend every fence is the same. If there's a material or edge case you've hit that we don't cover yet, I'd love to hear it so we can add it.
honestly love that you skipped the email gate, that alone makes me trust the site more. the picket spacing calculator is the kind of thing i wish i had before my last fence build.
@ensar33961 Ha, "wish I had it before my last build" is the best compliment I could ask for 😄 Thanks Ensar. Trust matters a lot to me — no email gate, no ads in your face, just the numbers. Hope it saves you some trips to the store on the next one!
The no-signup, no-email approach is genuinely refreshing for this kind of tool. Love that it just spits out the numbers you actually need before heading to the lumber yard.
@sedat1276640 Thanks Sedat! That was exactly the goal — you shouldn't have to hand over your email just to find out how many pickets and rails to buy. Curious: when you head to the lumber yard, do you usually plan around standard 8ft sections or custom runs? Always looking for real DIY workflows to build around.
