What is Fence Post Distance?

Fence post distance refers to the spacing between each post in a fence. Proper spacing is crucial for ensuring the stability and durability of the fence. This calculation helps in determining the optimal distance between posts based on the total length of the fence, the number of posts, and the thickness of the posts.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ FPD = \left( \frac{100 \times 12}{10} \right) - 4 = \left( \frac{1200}{10} \right) - 4 = 120 - 4 = 116 \, \text{inches} \]

The Fence Post Distance is 116 inches.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ FPD = \left( \frac{150 \times 12}{15} \right) - 6 = \left( \frac{1800}{15} \right) - 6 = 120 - 6 = 114 \, \text{inches} \]

The Fence Post Distance is 114 inches.
