Visualize in Design StudioWe can all agree on how simple and useful this tool is - but if you're a curious person, you're probably wondering how to calculate the number of pickets needed for your fence by yourself; we get it, as we're curious people too &#; Let's take a look at the total number of pickets formula we use in this tool:
Total numberof pickets=Fence lengthPicketwidth+Picketspacing\footnotesize \begin{split} \text{Total num} & \text{ber} \\ \text{of picket} & \text{s} \end{split} = \cfrac{\text{Fence length}}{\begin{split} & \text{Picket} \\ & \text{width} \end{split} + {\begin{split} & \text{Picket} \\ & \text{spacing} \end{split}}}

When employing this expression, ensure you're using the same unit of length for all the variables.
Let's check out how to use this formula with a quick example. Say you plan on building a fence of 11 feet in length and want to use 4-inch-wide pickets with a 2.5-inch spacing in between - how many pickets do you need? It's simple!
Total numberof pickets=11 ft4 in+2.5 in\footnotesize \qquad \begin{split} \text{Total num} & \text{ber} \\ \text{of picket} & \text{s} \end{split} = \cfrac{11 \text{ ft}}{4 \text{ in} + 2.5 \text{ in}}
