Compare your per-metre quotes with gates, removal and fixed costs.
Quantity / scenario planning · Reviewed 7 October 2026Your inputs
Check all starting values against your project and product. Enter your own prices; keep costs on the same GST basis.
How to prepare your inputs
Measure the fence alignment from verified boundaries and plans. Price comparable heights, materials, gates and removal.
How this calculation works
Budget range = fence length × entered installed rates + gates + removal + extras.
20 m at $150–$200/m with $500 extras gives $3,500–$4,500.
Assumptions & exclusions
Enter rates for the same fence height and specification. Confirm boundaries, approvals, ground conditions and inclusions with your contractor.
Your next step
Confirm boundary position, neighbour arrangements, post design and local requirements before work.

What if my shape or product is different?
Use dimensions and product data that match the stated method. For complex work, calculate separate sections or obtain a project-specific take-off. Do not apply simple geometry to structural or compliance decisions.
Why are quantities rounded up?
Whole bags, packs, sheets or cartridges round up to purchasable units. Decimal area or volume results are planning figures; confirm order increments with the supplier.
Are my entries saved?
