Timber Fencing Calculator

The Timber Fencing Calculator is an essential tool designed to help homeowners, landscapers, and builders quickly and accurately plan their timber fence installation. Whether you're enclosing a back garden, securing a side path, or defining a boundary, this calculator removes the guesswork by allowing you to select from a wide range of fencing components tailored to your specific needs.

Choose between two of the most popular timber fencing panel styles: Lap Timber Panels and Feather Edge Panels. Both panel types are supplied at a standard width of 6ft to ensure a consistent, professional finish along your fence line. Lap panels offer a traditional, budget-friendly option with a neat, horizontal slat appearance, and are available in heights of 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft. Lap timber panels are perfect for everything from decorative low borders to full privacy screening. Alternatively, Feather Edge Panels provide a more robust and secure structure, ideal for windy areas or high-traffic locations. These panels are available in heights of 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft, making them an excellent choice for privacy fencing.

The calculator also offers flexibility when selecting your fence posts, allowing you to tailor your setup based on durability, budget, and aesthetic preference. Choose from Concrete Posts in 5ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, or 9ft lengths—offering a long-lasting, low-maintenance solution that resists rot and weathering. Alternatively, opt for Timber Posts, available in 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, or 10ft lengths and in two thicknesses: 3”x 3” for lighter fencing or 4”x 4” for greater strength and stability. Timber posts provide a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with timber panels and is ideal for more rustic or traditional garden themes.

For added longevity and protection against moisture damage, the calculator also includes Gravel Boards. Our gravel boards are available in plain 6-inch or 12-inch heights. These boards run along the bottom of your fence panels to prevent direct contact with the ground, extending the lifespan of the fence while enhancing its appearance. Whether you need subtle base protection or a higher lift for sloped terrain, there’s a suitable gravel board option for your layout.
