Fence calculator in slats or profiled sheet

Type the fence's length and height: the calculator counts the slats or the whole sheets, cuts them to height and shows the metres, the m² and the price. A 30 × 2 m fence takes 240 slats (12 000 MDL, whatever the steel) or 29 whole H-20 sheets (5 951–10 116 MDL, depending on the steel).

How it counts. Questions on the fence.

  1. How many metal slats does a metre of fence take?

    With a 100 mm slat and a 25 mm gap the pitch is 125 mm: 8 slats a metre, 240 slats on 30 m. With 20 mm between them 30 m takes 250 slats, with 40 mm, 215 slats.

  2. How many profiled sheets does a fence take?

    The fence's length over the profile's useful width, rounded up: sheets are cut to height only, never along their width. On 30 m, H-20 (1.07 m useful) takes 29 sheets, H-8 (1.17 m) 26 sheets.

  4. What is not in the count?

    Posts, rails, screws, the foundation and the fitting are not in the catalogue, so the calculator prices none of them. We go through them and confirm them in the quote.
