How Much Fence for a 100×150 Yard?

Fence Footage for a 100×150 Yard
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 × (width + depth). For 100 × 150, that is 2 × 250 = 500 feet. Most backyard fences only run three sides because the house closes off the fourth: one 100-foot back line plus two 150-foot sides, or 400 feet. If your fence returns to the house partway along the side, measure that actual run instead.
For a wood privacy fence on three sides you'd buy about 53 posts, 106 bags of concrete, 150 rails, and 1,280 pickets. Enclosing all four sides raises that to 66 posts and 1,600 pickets.
