Four Sided Land (not square) Fencing

Processing...

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

Farm Fence Calculators

Number of Posts and Rails: Computes the number of fence posts and rails needed for a length of wood fencing.
Wood Fence Cost Estimate : Computes material costs for post and rail fence based on the number of posts and rails (above) and unit cost pricing.
Wire Fence Materials: Computes the materials needed for a high tension fence.
Wire Fence Cost Estimate Computes the materials and costs of a high tension wire fence.
Time to Dig and Set Post: Estimates the low-end (optimistic) estimate of time to dig and set posts for a length fencing based on the distance between the post and the whether their dug by hand or with an auger. This means few or no rocks or tree roots.
Labor Cost to Dig and Set Posts : Computes the approximate cost of labor in digging and setting fence posts based on the length of the fence, uniform distance between posts, method of digging (by hand, power auger) and the hourly labor pay rate (DPH).
Three Sided Land Fencing: Computes the number of fencing segments or posts and rails or horizontal boards needed to go around a three sided fence area.
Rectangle Area Fencing: Computes the length of the perimeter, area and diagonal length of a rectangle field or area based on the dimensions (length and width). It also computes the number of posts or fence segments based on the length of the segments or separation of the posts.
Four Sided Land Fencing: 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.
Five Sided Land Fencing: Computes the number of fencing segments or posts and rails or horizontal boards needed to go around a five sided fence area.
Oval Shaped Land Fencing: Computes the number of fencing segments or posts and rails or horizontal boards needed to go around an oval shaped fence area.
Circular Fence Calc: Computes the diameter, number of posts, rails, perimeter and area of a circular shaped fenced area (paddock). Use this if you know how many segments you have and want to fence-in a roughly circular area..
Fence Needed for Circular Area: Computes the area, perimeter and fencing materials needed to enclose a roughly circular area based on the diameter, length of fence segments and the number of rows of rails. Use this if you know how many segments you have. Use this if you know the diameter of the area you want.
Semi-Circle Area Fencing: Computes the fencing materials needed to enclose a roughly semi-circular area based on the diameter, length of fence segments and the number of rows of rails.
Fencing Needed for Polygon Area: Computes the area and side length enclosed within a polygon (e.g. octagon) shaped area (paddock).
Area Fenced in Polygon: Computes the area enclosed in polygon (e.g., 12 sided) fence area based on the length and number of individual sides.
Number of Posts needed for a Wood Fence: Computes the number of posts needed for a length of fence based on the spacing.
Number of Rails needed for a Wood Fence: Computes the number of rails needed for a length of fence based on the length of the rails and number of rows.
Ideal Spacing below Max: Computes the ideal even spacing over a length or distance based an a maximum spacing.
