Project preparation
Plan and Measure Your Project
Use these general steps to develop your own layout and materials list before ordering.
Measure each fence run
Measure in a straight line from corner to corner. Record each run separately instead of combining them as you go.
Mark every gate
Show where people and vehicles need to enter. Note whether each opening is a walk gate or a drive gate.
Determine the materials you want to order
Use your measurements and layout to choose the fence panels, posts, gates, hardware, and quantities needed for your project.
