Additional Information for Calculating Metal (Iron and Aluminum) Fence Estimates – 4 and 6 Feet High
Our online metal fence calculator helps estimate the cost of installing iron and aluminum fences in standard heights of 4 and 6 feet. In most cases, the estimate closely matches the final price, with accuracy depending on the correctness of the entered data — primarily the total fence length and the number of sides. The calculator is easy to use and will assist you in calculating both material and labor costs by following the steps below.
Choose your fence design — Browse available fence styles by clicking the buttons. You can select iron or aluminum fencing, and the preview image will reflect your selection.
Select the fence height — The most common heights are 4 and 6 feet. By default, the calculator is set to 6 feet.
Select the number of fence sides — Choose the number of sides based on your layout (for example, a five-sided fence). If you only want to calculate the cost of a gate, leave this value set to “0.”
Enter the fence length in feet — The total fence length is one of the primary factors affecting cost. Measure as accurately as possible.
Include gates — If your project includes single, double, or sliding gates, click “Add Gates” and select the appropriate quantities. Options for automatic opening systems and custom gate widths are also available.
Demolition, hauling, and material delivery — Select this option if you need removal of an existing fence, hauling services, or delivery of new materials.
Calculate — Click the “Calculate” button to generate your estimate. If required fields are missing, the system will prompt you to enter the number of sides, total length, or gate details.
Download estimate — You can download the calculated estimate as an image once all required fields are completed, including your name, phone number, and full address with ZIP code. After clicking the button, allow approximately 30–50 seconds for the image to generate. If nothing happens, click “DOWNLOAD ESTIMATE” again. On iPhone and iPad, you may need to manually save the image to your device.
