Measurement guide

US customary measurements

Enter decimal feet, feet and inches, or common inch fractions. An unlabelled value such as 10.5 means 10.5 feet; use an inch label for values such as 10.5 in. Mixed measurements such as 8 ft 3 1/2 in are also supported. Clear opening width means the inside-face distance between posts.

Metric measurements

Use millimetres, centimetres, or metres, such as 2400 mm, 240 cm, or 2.4 m. The calculator normalizes measurements internally before solving.

Good field notes

  • Sketch each straight segment.
  • Mark gates, corners, and stairs separately.
  • Check actual product stock lengths and bag yields before buying.
