Use fence post and panel planner online for run m, maximum panel m. Material-planning geometry only. Supplied dimensions and productivity are scenarios; no structural capacity or building-code compliance is determined.

How to use it

Enter run m. Set maximum panel m. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
run mMain input. Positive values. 30
maximum panel mOption. Positive values. 2.4

Calculation method

panels = ceil(run_m/maximum_panel_m); posts = ceil(run_m/maximum_panel_m)+1; panel_width_m = run_m/ceil(run_m/maximum_panel_m) (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply fence post and panel planner to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Material-planning geometry only. Supplied dimensions and productivity are scenarios; no structural capacity or building-code compliance is determined.

Fence Post and Panel Planner — worked case

Settings: maximum panel m: 2.4

Input:

30

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "panels": 13,
  "posts": 14,
  "panel_width_m": 2.3076923076923075
}

Choose the right tool

Start with measured net dimensions, then enter supplier coverage, spacing and waste allowances. A material estimate does not determine load capacity, safe construction details or compliance with local building requirements.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Material-planning geometry only. Supplied dimensions and productivity are scenarios; no structural capacity or building-code compliance is determined.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
