Fence Material Calculator

Plan Your Fence with Ease

Our Fencing Calculator is a handy tool to help you estimate the timber and materials you'll need for your next fencing project. Just pop in your fence length, height, and post spacing, and we’ll do the rest — giving you a breakdown of posts, rails, palings, and even concrete (if needed).

This is an estimator only, designed to give you a solid starting point — we recommend adding an extra 5% to your paling count to cover offcuts, miscalculations, or any unexpected hiccups on site.

Disclaimer:

This fencing calculator is an estimator only and is based on standard New Zealand building practices under ideal site conditions. Actual material requirements may vary depending on terrain, post spacing adjustments, local council requirements, and on-site surprises (like tree roots, slopes, or changes in plan mid-project). 

We’re timber and hardware experts - not licensed builders, so while we’re happy to help you get your materials sorted, we can’t offer official building advice and as such; we recommend double-checking with a qualified builder before kicking off your fence build.
