FencePro: Wood Picket Calc

Are you planning to build or renovate a beautiful picket fence and want to ensure you have the right materials, measurements, and budget under control? Look no further! FencePro: Wood Picket Calc is your all-in-one solution for laying out a fence project with precision and confidence. Whether you’re an avid DIY enthusiast or a professional contractor, this intuitive app will save you time, cut down on surprises, and help you achieve professional results.

1. Comprehensive Fence Layout Our calculator allows you to specify up to four sides (A, B, C, and D) of your fence in meters. If one side won’t be included in your project, simply set that side’s length to zero, and the app will skip it. The result is a clear breakdown of your fence’s total perimeter so you never have to juggle conversions and complex equations by hand.

2. Accurate Material Estimates From the number of posts to the uniform pitch on each side, from the total rails needed to the precise quantity of pickets—this app does all the heavy lifting. It calculates:

Total fence length and area
Required fence height and minimum post length
Uniform distribution of posts for neat, consistent spacing
Number of rails needed, based on your chosen rail parameters
Approximate picket fence count, factoring in each picket’s width and spacing
3. Weight and Volume Calculations Wondering how much your posts, rails, or pickets will weigh once the fence is complete? The app provides approximate total weights to help you gauge transport and handling needs. Plus, if you’re reinforcing posts with stones or concrete, you can enter hole diameters and post lengths to estimate the volume of material required for backfilling.

4. Detailed Cost Analysis Tired of unexpected bills? Our built-in cost module estimates:

Post costs per meter
Rail costs per meter
Price per picket piece
Screw costs for each attachment point
You’ll see both item-by-item costs and an overall total, giving you a clear financial picture before you begin.

5. Easy-to-Use Interface

Enter your dimensions in meters (or millimeters, where indicated), and let the app handle the math.
Not sure about certain sides or want to skip some calculations? Just type “0” to exclude those sides or parameters.
Choose your post installation method: driving, fix with stones, or using screw piles—so your cost and volume calculations remain precise for your build style.
6. Perfect for DIYers and Pros Whether you’re a homeowner looking to build a cozy backyard enclosure or a contractor taking on multiple projects, this tool is designed for everyone. You’ll quickly see how straightforward fence planning can be when all relevant calculations are at your fingertips.

7. Test Mode & Widget Support Currently operating in a test mode, the app also includes a handy widget listing each key result with a concise explanation. Quickly review:
