Vinyl Fence Calculator

Work out how many vinyl panels, posts and concrete bags a fence needs from the run length, panel width and height, plus any gates.

Draw this fence

A planning estimate, not a contractor takeoff. Order spare caps and brackets, and confirm panel sizes with your supplier.

How it works

  1. 1

    Enter the run

    Add the total length and the height of the vinyl fence.

  2. 2

    Set the panel width

    Vinyl posts sit one panel apart, so the panel width is your post spacing.

  3. 3

    Get the count

    See panels, posts and concrete, with gates removed from the panel count.

Frequently asked questions

How are vinyl panels counted?
One preassembled panel fills each section between posts, so panels equal the number of sections. Each gate replaces a panel, so the count drops by one per gate.
What post spacing should I use?
Use the width of the panels you are buying, commonly 6 or 8 ft. The post count follows from that spacing.
Do vinyl fences need rails?
No. The rails are built into the panels, so the calculator reports panels and posts rather than loose rails.
Are these numbers exact?
They are close planning estimates, not a substitute for a contractor takeoff. Real quantities depend on your terrain, post spacing, waste and local building code, so buy a little extra and confirm against your supplier.
Is my fence design sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The layout, lengths and prices you enter stay on your device, nothing is uploaded, logged or stored, and it all clears when you close the tab.
