This calculator will calculate the amount of wire and post needed to fence a larger area measured in acres. It is assumed that the acreage is in a shape of a rectangle.

Post count is based on lineal feet plus one post.

The Calculation

1. enter the number of acres
2. the width of the acreage (in feet)
3. how much wire on one roll ( in feet)
4. the number of strands
5. the spacing of the post (in feet)

The Results

1. the length of the acreage
2. the perimeter of the fence in lineal feet
3. # of rolls of wire needed
4. the amount of post needed
