How it works

Round each run up to sections within the maximum spacing; allow two extra posts per gate opening.

Simple example

A 48 ft straight run at up to 8 ft spacing has six sections before gates.

Common question

What about corners?

Corners and gates may need special posts and structural details.

This is a planning estimate. Check product instructions, dimensions and site conditions before purchasing or building.
