How to use this calculator
- Set posts at least 1/3 of their above-ground height into the soil for stability.
- Use concrete for corner and gate posts; gravel-set is fine for line posts in well-drained soil.
- Always call 811 before digging to locate underground utilities.
- Stagger pickets slightly off-vertical to allow wood expansion without warping.
Common mistakes to avoid
- →Forgetting waste and overage. Most pros add 10–15% extra to cover offcuts, mistakes, and damaged material.
- →Measuring once. Always double-check critical dimensions before ordering — returns waste time and money.
- →Ignoring permits and codes. Check with your local building department before purchasing materials for any structural project.
