Posts, panels, concrete, post caps, and gate hardware for any fence run.
Measure all sides of your fence run
8 ft is standard. 6 ft for taller or heavier fences.
Based on the dimensions on the left — edit them to match your project and this updates as you type.
13 panels/sections — subtract for gate openings
Tip: Buy 1-2 extra panels. Damaged panels happen during installation.
14 posts — extra 2 ft for burial depth
Tip: Posts should be buried 1/3 of their total length. A 6 ft fence needs posts buried 2+ ft.
28 bags — 2 bags per post
Tip: Dry-pour method works great for fence posts — pour dry mix, add water, tamp. No mixing required.
Keeps water out of end grain — significantly extends post life
Galvanized or coated only — never use plain steel with PT lumber
Manual digger for 6 posts or fewer — rent a gas auger for more
Tip: Rent a 2-person gas auger from HD for $60/day if you have more than 8 posts to dig.
Keep your top rails perfectly level across the run
Don't forget
Check your local zoning rules before you start. Fence height limits (typically 4 ft front yard, 6 ft backyard) and permit requirements vary by city. Call 811 before digging.
