Tell us how long your fence is and which panels you like, and this works out how many panels, posts, gravel boards and bags of post-fix you need, priced from our current list. Add the whole list to your quote in one go. Delivery is quoted separately once we have your postcode.
Choose your panel above and enter the length of your fence. Your list of panels, posts, boards and post-fix appears here, ready to add to your quote.
On a straight run you need one more post than panels, so 5 panels take 6 posts. Where the fence turns a corner, one post does for both sides. With concrete posts you need an end post at each end, a corner post at each corner and inter posts for the rest. The calculator counts all of this for you.
About 2ft (600 mm) of the post goes in the ground, so the post is the panel height, plus the gravel board, plus 2ft, rounded up to a length we stock. For a 6ft panel that is a 2400 mm timber post or an 8ft concrete post. With a 1ft concrete base under a 6ft panel you need a 9ft concrete post. The calculator picks the length from your choices.
A board along the bottom keeps the panel off the soil, so it is not sitting in the wet. If the board gets knocked or wears out, you replace the board rather than the panel. You can use a timber gravel board or a concrete base with any of our posts.
Yes. Timber gravel boards and concrete bases go with any of our posts. Slotted timber posts and concrete posts hold the boards in their grooves. On square timber posts the boards are fixed with Fence Base Brackets, two per board: the 225 mm bracket for a 1 foot base and the 150 mm bracket for a 6 inch base or a timber gravel board. The calculator adds the brackets to your list.
Yes. You can stack them, and mix 1 foot and 6 inch concrete bases to get the height you want. Timber gravel boards come in 6 inch. The calculator picks posts long enough for the panel and all the boards together, up to a fence about 7ft high on concrete posts or 6ft 6in on timber posts. For anything taller, please call us.
Yes. Choose "Boards or bases only" instead of a panel, then the posts and how many boards or bases go in each section. The calculator counts the posts, boards and any brackets the same way as for a fence with panels.
Traditional panels and concrete bases are 6ft wide. Continental panels and timber gravel boards are 1.8 m, a little narrower. Where a panel and its boards are different widths, the narrower one is made up with Continental Panel Width Extenders. A continental panel on concrete bases gets two extenders, one down each side. Timber gravel boards under a traditional panel get a short piece at each end, cut from extenders, and the list has just enough extenders to cut all the pieces.
Only with square timber posts, where the panels and boards are fixed to the face of the post. The calculator adds the brackets to your list: panel brackets for the panels (4 per panel up to 4ft high, 6 for taller panels) and Fence Base Brackets for the boards. Slotted timber posts and concrete posts hold the panels and boards in their grooves, so they need no brackets.
Panels come in fixed widths, so a fence is rarely an exact number of panels long. The calculator rounds up and tells you how wide the last panel needs to be cut. When only a small part of that panel is used, it also tells you how much shorter the side would need to be to need one panel fewer.
