About Panelplan

A small shopping model.
A visible set of assumptions.

Panelplan counts standard panel bays for separate straight fence runs, then turns those counts into a simple shopping list.

The useful part is keeping each run separate. Adding lengths first can hide the extra full panels that several short runs require. Panelplan rounds each run upward, shows the modelled span and its difference from your desired length, and adds one more post than panels for each independent run.

You provide the product details

Enter the effective repeated bay width from your own product system or layout. The tool does not recommend spacing, choose a fence system or decide how a fence should be installed. One estimate uses one bay width and one panel/post price combination. Plan different product systems separately.

What stays outside the model

The planner does not model gates, shared corner posts, existing posts, end-post dimensions, panel clearances, slopes, foundations or installation requirements. It does not provide structural, engineering or boundary advice. The diagram on the home page is decorative and is not a construction drawing.
