A metal picket fence has an excellent aesthetic appearance, a long service life, and at the same time it is easy to make it yourself. The total price of the fence consists of several components: poles, veins (logs), picket fence and self-tapping screws. Therefore, it is important to know how much material will be needed, and especially the amount of eurostudent, because few people want to overpay. We suggest using the fence calculation calculator.
The usual arrangement of shtaketin
This is the simplest fence design. In it, the pillars are located behind the veins and the installation of the picket fence is carried out along the entire length of the fence. The calculator will help you calculate the required amount of material for both metal and wooden fences.
This calculator will help you calculate the required amount of metal picket fence to build such a fence yourself. However, it gives an inaccurate value, meaning that at the edges or on one side, it will be necessary to make a retreat.
Distance between pickets
To avoid such a situation and accurately select the required gap, use a calculator to calculate the distance between the picket fence in the fence.
For example, with a fence length of 20 meters and a plank width of 100 mm, with a planned gap of 50 millimeters, it turns out that ≈133,3 pickets are needed.
By changing the amount of picket fence in the calculator, you can achieve the exact value of the gap. In this case, to obtain an accurate gap of 60 mm, you need to purchase 125 strips. Do not make too large gaps, as they will look worse.
Chess order
When the euro fence is installed in a checkerboard pattern, the distance between the planks should be half the width of the fence plus 20 millimeters, since the increased gap will overlap on the reverse side. In this case, the number of shtaketins purchased must be doubled and one taken away. The calculator will look like this:
Installation between posts
If the installation of the eurofence will be carried out between the pillars, then the amount of material will decrease depending on the width of the pillar. In this case, use the fence calculation calculator for a fence with poles:
Please note that the values shown or obtained are guidelines only. Ultimately, the decision of how the fence will look is up to you.
