About Land Perimeter Calculation
Why Accurate Measurements Matter
Precise perimeter measurements are essential for:
- Determining the exact amount of fencing materials needed
- Calculating accurate cost estimates for your project
- Planning property boundaries and setbacks
- Ensuring compliance with local zoning regulations
Types of Fencing Materials
Wood Fence
Traditional, natural appearance. Moderate durability (10-15 years) with proper maintenance.
Average cost: $15-25 per linear foot
Vinyl Fence
Low maintenance, long-lasting (20-30+ years). Resists fading, cracking, and rotting.
Average cost: $20-35 per linear foot
Chain Link
Economical and durable (15-20 years). Minimal maintenance required but less privacy.
Average cost: $10-20 per linear foot
Wrought Iron/Metal
Elegant appearance and exceptional durability (20-30+ years). Requires occasional maintenance.
Average cost: $25-60 per linear foot
Zoning and Permit Considerations
Before installing a fence around your property, check your local regulations for:
- Height restrictions (typically 6-8 feet for backyard, 3-4 feet for front yard)
- Setback requirements from property lines
- Permit requirements (many localities require permits for fences)
- HOA restrictions and approval processes
- Property line verification (survey may be required)
Property Surveys and Boundaries
For accurate perimeter calculation, consider these options:
- Professional land survey (most accurate but costlier option)
- Check property deed or plat map at your county recorder’s office
- Online GIS systems may show approximate property lines
- Property line apps that use GPS (note: these have limited accuracy)
