Fence Footage for a 150×200 Yard
The perimeter of a rectangle is 2 × (width + depth). For 150 × 200, that is 2 × 350 = 700 feet. Most backyard fences only run three sides because the house closes off the fourth: one 150-foot back line plus two 200-foot sides, or 550 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 72 posts, 144 bags of concrete, 207 rails, and 1,760 pickets. Enclosing all four sides raises that to 91 posts and 2,240 pickets.
