How to Use This Calculator

Start with the total fence length, subtract gate openings, then choose fence height, post spacing and roll length. If the project includes corners, gates, barbed wire or razor wire, add those fields before copying the RFQ summary.

Formula Notes

The calculator estimates mesh rolls by fenced length and allowance. Post counts combine line posts, end posts, corner posts, gate posts and roll-joint terminal posts. Clamp sets are based on visible post height at 0.5 m intervals.

Chain Link Fence Calculator FAQ

Is this result the final order quantity?

No. It is an RFQ preparation estimate. Final material quantities should be checked against layout drawings, gate positions, corners, installation method and order requirements.

Why does the calculator add terminal posts at roll joints?

Factory confirmation indicates a terminal post is commonly set where two rolls connect, so this calculator includes roll-joint terminal posts in the estimate.

When is top rail recommended?

Top rail is recommended when the fence height is 2.5 m or higher, or when the project requires stronger top support.
