Your Guide to Measuring Linear Feet for Fence Installation
Determining the linear feet for your fence is essential, whether undertaking the project yourself or gathering details for a quote from Kestrel Landscapes. This concise guide provides the steps for measuring linear feet and highlights tools to ensure accuracy and ease in planning.
What Are Linear Feet?
Linear feet measure the length of the fence needed, crucial for calculating the amount of material required. Understanding this measurement is the first step toward a successful installation.
Step-by-Step Measuring Guide
Measure the Perimeter: Record the length of each planned fence side.
Add Measurements Together: Sum these lengths to find the total linear feet needed.
Example: A rectangular space with 100 ft and 75 ft sides totals 350 linear feet (100+75+100+75).
Include Gates and Corners: Account for any gates or corners in your total linear feet.
Adjust for Obstacles: Include measurements around any obstacles in your total.
The Importance of Extra Material
Purchasing additional material can cover any unexpected adjustments or errors, ensuring your project proceeds smoothly.
