`P = 2* W +2* L `
Enter a value for all fields
The Perimeter of a Rectangle Fence calculator computes the length of the perimeter (P) of a rectangle field or area based on the dimensions (length and width).
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the follow:
- (L) Length of Field
- (W) Width of Field
Rectangle Field Perimeter (P): The calculator returns the perimeter in feet. It also returns:
- (SF) area in square feet
- (Ac) area in acres
- (Dg) length of the diagonal in feet.
All of these values can be automatically converted to compatible units via the pull-down menu.
The Math / Science
The formula for the perimeter of a rectangle is:
P = 2 • L + 2 • W
where:
- P = Perimeter of Rectangle Fence
- L = Length
- W = Width
Fence Calculators
- Number of Posts and Rails: Computes the number of fence posts and rails needed for a length of wood fencing.
- Post and Rail 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.
- Labor Cost for 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).
- Perimeter of a Rectangular Shaped Area computes the length of a fence perimeter in a rectangular shaped area base on the length (l) and width (w) of the area.
- Diagonal of Rectangle Area computes the diagonal measurement of a rectangular area. This is useful in ensuring that your area has square corners.
- Circular Fence Calc computes the diameter, number of posts, rails, perimeter and area of a circular shaped fenced area (paddock).
- Fencing Needed for Circular Area computes the number of posts, number of sections, sides or panels, number of rail boards, perimeter and area of a circular shaped area (paddock) based on a diameter and length of sides (e.g., .
