Vinyl Fence Calculator

Your details

Measure the perimeter or run of fence you want to install.
ft
Most residential vinyl fence panels are sold in 8-foot sections. Some manufacturers also offer 6-foot sections.
Style affects the price per panel. Privacy panels are the most expensive; ranch panels are the cheapest.
Taller panels cost more per section and need deeper post footings.
Count each open end of the fence run. A simple straight fence has 2 end posts; a U-shaped enclosure has 2.
posts
Each 90-degree change in direction needs one corner post. A square enclosure with four corners needs 4.
posts
Each gate opening replaces one panel and adds two gate posts (if not already end posts).

Estimated project cost: $1,950 for a high-end privacy vinyl fence.

  • Your project needs 12 panels and 15 posts for a 100-ft fence run.
  • That works out to about $19.50 per linear foot for materials only.
  • Gate openings reduce the panel count but add 2 dedicated gate posts - factor those into your post-hole digging plan.
  • Add 5 to 10 percent extra material for waste, trimming, and any damaged panels during shipping.

Next stepToggle "Include labor" to see how contractor labor affects your total - it typically doubles the material cost.
