Estimate the perimeter of a rectangular or circular fence from the plan sizes.
| Perimeter | – |
Use this calculator to length a fence run before you count posts. Pick a rectangle or a circle, then enter the sizes that apply.
A rectangle is 2 × (length + width). A circle is π × diameter. Length, width, and diameter can be entered in metres (m) or feet (ft). The perimeter is shown in m or ft. Unused sizes for the shape you picked can stay at a dummy positive value.
This is a closed perimeter. It does not subtract a gate or add a third dimension of height.
Shape: Rectangle for a yard, circle for a round pen.
Length: Rectangle length, in m or ft. Unused for a circle.
Width: Rectangle width, in m or ft. Unused for a circle.
Diameter: Circle diameter, in m or ft. Unused for a rectangle.
Perimeter: Fence length.
