Use our free Fence Picket Calculator to accurately determine the number of pickets required for your next fencing project. Whether you're building a new fence or repairing an existing one, this tool helps you avoid over-purchasing or running short on materials. Simply input your fence dimensions and desired gap size for an instant estimate.
Formula:
The formula used to estimate the number of fence pickets is:
Pickets = ceil((L + G) / (W + G))
- L = Total Fence Length
- W = Single Picket Width
- G = Desired Gap Size between Pickets
This formula ensures enough pickets are purchased to cover the entire fence length, accounting for both picket width and the gaps in between.
