A tool used to determine the optimal distance between vertical supports in a fence structure. This instrument streamlines the process of planning fence construction projects by calculating the required intervals for upright posts based on total fence length and the desired number of sections. For example, if a fence is 100 feet long and a post should be every 8 feet, the tool will indicate the need for approximately 13 posts, taking into account end posts.
Accurate calculation of the intervals yields a structurally sound and aesthetically pleasing barrier. Consistent spacing enhances the overall appearance of the fence, contributing to property value and visual appeal. Historically, determining such intervals involved manual measurement and mathematical calculation, a method prone to error. The tool ensures precision, reducing material waste, installation time, and potential structural weaknesses.
