Fence Material Calculator
Fence material estimating is a linear takeoff: total run, gate openings, post spacing, rails per section, picket width, picket gap, waste and post-hole concrete assumptions.

Run and gates
Gate openings are removed from the picketed run, while each gate adds post allowance for the opening.
Installed picket coverage
picket_coverage = picket_width + picket_gap
Concrete bags
Post-hole concrete is modeled as round-hole volume times post count, then divided by the entered bag yield and rounded up.
