Work out bays, posts and infill for a steel-sheet or timber paling fence.

Your measurements

How it's worked out

Bays = fence length ÷ bay width. Posts = bays + 1, plus one per gate. Timber palings are 150 mm wide with 25 mm overlap. Steel infill sheets cover 762 mm. Post holes are filled with 20 kg premix bags.

Estimates only. Check sizes, coverage and quantities with your supplier, engineer or certifier before ordering. Standards references are a guide, not compliance advice.
