How to Take Accurate Measurements for Your Fence Project
Before ordering your fence, it's essential to measure your space correctly. 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 simple steps.
1. Determine the Total Length
Example perimeter measurement: 20+10+20+10 = 60 m
Example for an L-shaped yard: add up each side
2. Choose the Height
H: Measure the height of your fence, considering the above-ground portion.
Your needs:
24"–48": ideal for marking property lines
60"–72": a good balance 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)
Check your local regulations for maximum fence height before choosing.
Local regulations:
Each city or county may have its own zoning rules that limit fence height. In some areas, you may be restricted to 72" or required to follow specific design guidelines (such as 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)
A base (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 and stability
- • Deter animals from entering your yard
- • Enhance the overall look
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 allows you to anchor your posts to a concrete surface. On a wall or slab, it holds both the post and the fence panel.
Note: If you plan to add privacy slats or screening to a rigid fence, setting posts in concrete is recommended. Using a base plate is not advised because added weight and wind load can damage the fence.
5. Account for Sloped Ground
Stepped installation (by sections): Each section is installed level, but at a different height than the previous one.
To prepare for this, measure the length of each step (horizontal segment).
You can add a base for each step, either by burying it or cutting it to the right length.
Alternatively, cut your panels to fit or use chain link mesh, which adapts more easily.

6. Calculate the Number of Posts Needed

The number of posts depends on your total length and fence type. Each fence panel fits between two posts.
A standard panel is 8' 2" long.
Example: For 82 feet of fencing with 8' 2" panels: 82 ÷ 8.2 = 10 panels
You'll need 11 posts (1 starter post + 1 post between each panel)
Our posts are designed for corners, so you don't need extra corner posts! If you're adding a base, double the number of posts.
Each rigid mesh panel is 8 feet 2 inches long.
For special layouts or shorter runs—such as 20 feet or along a curve—you can cut a panel to fit. Rigid mesh panels can be trimmed easily with the right tool (angle grinder or bolt cutters) for a custom fit.
In Summary:
Measure the total perimeter.
Choose your height (based on your needs and local codes).
Decide if you need a base or 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 be ready to select the best fence for your property.
