This tool calculates the total cost to build your wood fence based on your specified length and height.
How to use the Wood Fence Cost Calculator:
To use the calculator, simply input the required details such as the fence length, fence height, material cost per square foot, distance between posts, post cost, and labour cost. After filling out these fields, click on the “Calculate” button to see the estimated total cost of your wooden fence.
Explanation of Calculation:
The calculator first calculates the total square footage of the fence by multiplying the length by the height. This result is then multiplied by the material cost per square foot to get the total material cost. Additionally, it calculates the number of posts required by dividing the total fence length by the distance between posts and multiplying the result by the cost per post. Finally, labour cost is calculated by multiplying the total square footage by the labour cost per square foot. The total cost is the sum of the material cost, post cost, and labour cost.
Limitations:
This calculator provides an estimate based on the inputs given and does not account for site-specific conditions, local pricing variations, or additional features like gates. It’s intended to give a rough idea of the cost and not a finalized quote.
