Timber Fencing Calculator
The Timber Fencing Calculator is an easy-to-use tool designed to help homeowners, landscapers, and builders accurately plan their timber fence installations. Whether you’re enclosing a garden, defining a boundary, or securing a pathway, this calculator removes the guesswork, guiding you through the components you’ll need for a professional, tailored fencing solution.
Choose Your Panel Style
Select from two of the most popular timber fencing panel styles to suit your project:
Lap Timber Panels
- A classic and cost-effective option, Lap Timber Panels feature a traditional horizontal slat design for a neat, consistent look.
- Available heights: 3ft, 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft
- Standard width: 6ft
- Ideal for decorative garden borders or full privacy fencing, Lap Panels combine value and visual appeal in equal measure
Feather Edge Panels
- For a stronger and more durable fence, Feather Edge Panels are the go-to choice. Their overlapping design provides extra strength and stability, perfect for windy or high-traffic areas.
- Available heights: 4ft, 5ft, and 6ft
- These panels offer excellent privacy and security, making them suitable for both residential and commercial environments
Select Your Fence Posts
The calculator allows you to customise your setup by choosing between fence posts, depending on your preferred look, durability, and budget.
Concrete Fence Posts
- Lengths: 5ft, 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, or 9ft
- Benefits: Long-lasting, rot-proof, and maintenance-free
- Concrete posts provide a solid, weather-resistant foundation that ensures your fence stands the test of time
Timber Fence Posts
- Lengths: 6ft, 7ft, 8ft, or 10ft
- Thickness options: 3”x3” (light duty) or 4”x4” (heavy duty)
- Timber posts offer a natural, traditional appearance that complements wooden panels beautifully, perfect for rustic or country-style gardens
Add Gravel Boards for Extra Protection
- For improved durability and protection against moisture damage, include Gravel Boards in your fencing setup.
- Available heights: plain 6-inch or 12-inch
- These boards run along the base of the fence, preventing direct ground contact and helping to extend the lifespan of your panels. They also add a clean, finished look and are ideal for uneven or sloped terrain
