How to Measure Linear Feet for a Fence (So Your Quote Is Accurate)

To measure linear feet for a fence, measure each straight run of the planned fence line (side-to-side), write down each distance, then add them together. Use a measuring wheel/tape for best accuracy, or Google Maps “Measure distance” as a solid estimate. Mark gate locations and include their widths so the quote matches your layout. Google Maps provides step-by-step instructions for measuring distance between points.
