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

3. Decide if You Need a Base (Sill)
A base (concrete curb or slab) helps to:
- • Prevent grass from growing under the fence
- • Hold back soil if your yard isn’t level (up to 30% of the base height)
- • Add stability
- • Deter animals from entering your yard
- • Enhance appearance
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 panel.
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 extra weight and wind load can damage your fence.
5. Account for Sloped Ground
Stepped installation: Each section is installed level, but at a different height from the previous one.
To plan 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 size.
Alternatively, you can cut panels to fit or use chain link mesh, which is more flexible for slopes.

6. Calculate How Many Posts You Need

The number of posts depends on your total length and fence type. 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 between each panel)
Our posts are designed to handle corners, so you don’t need extra posts for angles! If you’re using 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 cut a panel to size. Rigid mesh panels can be trimmed easily with the right tool (angle grinder or bolt cutters) for a custom fit.
Summary:
Measure the total perimeter.
Choose your height (based on your needs and local rules).
Check if you need a base or a base plate.
See if your ground is sloped or flat.
Count your corners to determine the right number of specific posts.
With these details, you’ll have everything you need to select the fence that fits your property best.
