About the picket math
How accurate is it?
It is a planning estimate based on common post spacing. Layouts, gates and slopes change real counts, and we confirm them in your estimate.
Why add posts for gates?
Gates hang on strong posts, so each gate adds a pair of heavy posts to the count.
Should I buy extra?
Our crew orders what the job needs. If you build it yourself, a little extra covers cuts and mistakes.
