`Area = f( "a" , "b" , "c" , "d" , "D" )`
`(A)"Length of side A"`
`(B)"Length of side B"`
`(C)"Length of side C"`
`(D)"Length of side D"`
`(E)"Length of the diagonal"`
`(s)"Segment Length (Post Spacing)"`
`(nR)"Number of Rows of Rails"`

The Four Sided Land (not square) Fencing calculator computes the number of fencing segments or posts and rails or horizontal boards needed to go around a four sided fence area that is not necessarily squared.  Four sided fenced area diagram

INSTRUCTIONS:  Start in one corner of your garden, and measure the length of the four sides (a,b,c,d).  Then from the original corner, measure the diagonal (D) to the far corner.  See diagram.  Use the measurements and enter the following:

  • (A) Length of Side a
  • (B) Length of Side b
  • (C) Length of Side c
  • (D) Length of Side d
  • (E) Length of Diagonal
  • (s) Segment Length (Post Spacing)
  • (nR) Number of Rail Rows

Four Sided Land Fencing (A): The calculator returns the following.  Note, units of answers can be automatically converted to compatible units (length, area, etc.) via the pull down menu on the side of the answers.

  • (nP) Number of Posts
  • (nRB) Number of Rail Boards
  • (P) Perimeter Length of Circular Paddock
  • (A) Area of Paddock
