Measuring guide

How to Measure for Your Fence Project

Before ordering your fence, it’s essential to get your measurements right. The measuring process is the same whether you’re installing posts on base plates or setting them in concrete.
Don’t worry if you’re new to this—just follow these straightforward steps.

1. Determine the Total Length

Example perimeter measurement: 20+10+20+10 = 60 m

Example for an L-shaped yard: add up the length of each side

2. Choose the Height

Your needs:
24"–48": good for marking property lines
60"–72": a solid choice for home security and privacy
80" and above: best for maximum privacy.

+8–12" for posts set on a wall

+12–20" for posts set directly in the ground

(depends on your soil type)

Local regulations:
Most towns have zoning rules that may set a maximum fence height. In some neighborhoods, you may be limited to 72" or required to follow specific design guidelines (especially in subdivisions or historic districts). Always check with your local building department before ordering to avoid surprises.

3. Decide If You Need a Base (Sill)

The base (a small concrete wall or slab) can help:

  • • Prevent grass from growing under the fence
  • • Hold back soil if your yard isn’t level (up to 30% of the base height)
  • • Add strength to your installation
  • • Keep animals from entering your yard
  • • Enhance the overall look

If your yard is flat and even, a base is optional.

There are two main types of bases: concrete or powder-coated steel.

4. Decide If You Need a Base Plate

A base plate lets you anchor your posts to a concrete surface. On a wall or concrete slab, it secures both your post and your fence panel.

Note: If you plan to add privacy slats to a rigid fence, it’s better to set posts in concrete. Using a base plate is not recommended in this case, as the added weight and wind load can damage your fence.

5. Account for Sloped Ground

Stepped installation (by sections): Each section is installed level, but each is set higher or lower than the previous one to follow the slope.

To plan this, measure the length of each level section (horizontal segment).

You can install a base for each section, either by burying or cutting it to fit.
Alternatively, cut your panels to size or use chain link, which is easier to adapt to slopes.

6. Calculate the Number of Posts Needed

Schéma illustrant le calcul du nombre de poteaux

The number of posts depends on your total length and fence type. Each fence panel is installed between two posts.
Each panel is 2.5 meters long.

Example: For a 25-meter fence using 2.5-meter panels: 25 ÷ 2.5 = 10 panels
You’ll need 11 posts (1 starter post + 1 post between each panel)

Our posts are designed to handle corners, so you don’t need extra posts for angles! However, if you’re adding a base, double the number of posts.

Each rigid mesh panel is 2.5 meters long.
For custom layouts or specific lengths—such as 6 meters or along a curve—you can trim a panel to fit. Rigid mesh panels can be cut with an appropriate tool (angle grinder or bolt cutter) for a perfect fit.

Summary:

Measure the total perimeter.
Choose your height (based on your needs and local codes).
Decide if you need a base or a base plate.
Check if your ground is sloped or flat.
Count your corners to plan for the right number of posts.
With these details, you’ll have everything you need to select the best fence for your property.
