Frequently Asked Questions
How is post spacing chosen for a livestock fence?
Post spacing depends on fence type and the livestock being contained, with tighter spacing for high-tension or lighter-duty fencing and wider spacing for heavier woven wire fence, commonly 10 to 30 feet.
Does this include staples, labor, or an electric fence controller?
No, this covers post and wire material costs only. Staples, labor, corner bracing, and electric fence controller sizing are not included and would need to be estimated separately.
Why round wire rolls up but calculate posts with a plus one?
Wire is sold in full rolls, so any fence length that needs more than a whole number of rolls requires rounding up to the next full roll. Posts need one extra post beyond the number of spacing intervals, since a fence with N spacing gaps needs N plus 1 posts to anchor both ends.
