How to Calculate Wood Fence Materials
The 3 most popular styles of Wood fence in South Florida are as follows
- Standard Dog Ear Wood Fence
- Shadow Box Wood Fence
- Board on Board wood Fence
The Qty of 4x4x8′ PT Post is the same for all 3 Styles
- Divide The Length of Fence by 4′, then add 1 for the Starter Post – 4′ OC required for Wood Fence 6′ High
The Qty of 80lb Concrete Mix is the same for all 3 Styles
- 1 80lb Bag of Concrete per 4×4
The Qty of 2x4x16′ PT is the same for all 3 Styles
- Divide Length by 16′ then Multiply by 3 ( 3 runs are required)
*** The Difference comes on the # of 5/8 x 6″ Boards you will be using per Style
- Standard Gog Ear Fence = Multiply Length by 2.2
- Shadow Box Fence = Multiply Length by 2.5
- Board on Board = Multiply Length by 2.5
Always check with you local building department for their requirements.
