- Verifying the boundary points is the most important step. Please be sure to check the cadastral map or boundary markers first to ensure you do not encroach on the boundaries with adjacent land.
- The construction method varies depending on the ground conditions. For soil floors, foundation concrete pouring (embedded type] is required, while for concrete floors, it is installed using an anchor type.
- If the ground has a significant difference in elevation (slope], stepped construction is required. Please note that in this case, you may need to order longer support posts.
- Determine the location and dimensions of the entrance (main gate] in advance. To avoid material waste, you must exclude the width occupied by the gate from the panel quantity calculation.
- For coastal or humid areas, you must choose products with reinforced zinc plating or powder coating to prevent corrosion and ensure a long lifespan.

Fence Quantity Calculation Formula
The key point of a fence is that the number of ‘posts’ is always one more than the number of ‘panels’.
Required span (plate] quantity
Required number of shareholders (pillars]
The number of pillars may be increased if a gate is installed or a section is interrupted.
Detailed Guide to Calculator Input Items
Please enter the appropriate figures for the site conditions to provide an accurate estimate.
1. Selection of Foundation/Construction Method
If the floor is concrete, you must choose anchor posts, and if it is soil or grass, you must choose foundation posts buried in the ground.
2. Total installation length (m]
Enter the total length of the section where the fence will be installed. If there are many bends, please enter the actual measured total.
3. Fence height and span width
The most commonly used standard specification is a width of 2,000mm. Please select a height ranging from 600mm to 2,000mm to suit your application.
4. Entrance (Front Gate] Settings
The fence panels will be omitted where the main gate will be installed. If you enter the number of gates to be installed, it will be automatically deducted from the quantity.

Expert Practical Know-how & Checklist
Here are on-site tips to improve fence installation quality.
-
Precautions for Slope Construction
For sloping terrain, 'terraced construction' is the standard. In this case, the trick is to order columns one step longer to match the height.
-
The Importance of Maintaining Column Spacing
Do not erect all the pillars first; instead, position the pillars by placing the plates one by one to ensure a clean assembly without errors.
-
Checking paint quality
Since it is frequently exposed to the outdoors, please check that the powder coating is uniform and that the welded areas have been properly rust-preventive before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ]
- Q. Can I purchase the pillars (shareholders] separately?
- A. Yes, it is possible. If additional columns are required due to damage during construction or division of sections, you can purchase only the main posts and accessory sets separately.
- Q. What is the required floor thickness for anchor-type installation?
- A. A concrete layer of at least 100mm must be secured so that the anchor bolts are firmly fixed and the fence does not shake.
- Q. How do you determine the size of the front gate?
- A. Single gates (1m] are primarily used for pedestrian traffic, while double gates (3~4m] are used for vehicle traffic. Please select based on the installation space.
