How to Measure for Your Fence Project
Before ordering your fence, it’s essential to take accurate measurements. The measuring process is the same whether you’re installing on a base plate or setting posts directly into the ground.
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: measure and add each side
2. Choose the Height
H: Calculate your fence height based on the above-ground portion.
Your needs:
0.6m to 1.2m: great for marking property lines
1.5m to 1.8m: a good balance for security and privacy
2.0m and above: best for maximum privacy.
+20/30 cm for posts set on a wall
+30/50 cm for posts set directly in the ground
(depends on soil type)
Check local regulations for maximum fence height before choosing your fence.
Local regulations:
Each municipality may have zoning rules that set a maximum fence height. In some areas, you may be limited to 1.8m or required to follow specific design guidelines (such as in subdivisions or protected zones). Check with your local authorities before ordering to avoid any issues.

3. Decide if You Need a Base (Sill)
A base (concrete curb 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 and stability
- • Deter animals from entering your yard
- • Enhance curb appeal
If your ground is flat and even, a base is optional.
There are two types of bases: concrete or powder-coated steel.

4. Decide if You Need a Base Plate
A base plate lets you anchor posts to a concrete surface. On a wall or concrete slab, it secures your post and fence.
Note: If you plan to add privacy screening to a rigid fence, setting posts in concrete is recommended. Using a base plate is not advised, as the added weight and wind load can damage your fence.
5. Consider the Slope of Your Yard
Stepped installation (by sections): Each section is installed level, but at a different height from the previous one.
To plan for this, measure the length of each level section (horizontal segment).
You can install a base for each step, either by burying it or cutting it to fit.
Alternatively, cut your panels to size or use chain link mesh, which is more flexible for slopes.

6. Calculate the Number of Posts Needed

The number of posts depends on the total length and the type of fence. Each fence panel is installed between two posts.
Each panel is 2.5m long.
Example: For 25m of fencing with 2.5m panels: 25 ÷ 2.5 = 10 panels
You’ll need 11 posts (1 start 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 installing a base, double the number of posts.
Each rigid mesh panel is 2.5 meters long.
For certain layouts or specific lengths—such as 6 meters or along a curve—you can adjust the installation by cutting a panel. Rigid mesh is easy to cut with the right tool (grinder or bolt cutter), so you can fit your fence exactly to your space.
Summary:
Measure the total perimeter.
Choose your height (based on your needs and local regulations).
Decide if you need a base or a base plate.
Check if your yard is sloped or flat.
Count your corners to plan for the right number of posts.
With these details, you’ll be ready to select the fence that fits your property best.
