About this calculator
The calculation covers both faces of the fence, since stain has to be applied on each side: total area = fence length × height × 2, divided by the product's stated coverage rate (typically 150-300 sq ft per gallon, depending on wood porosity and whether it's the first or a repeat coat), then multiplied by the number of coats — most stains need two for even color and adequate weather protection.
DIY homeowners use this before a hardware store run so they buy enough stain in one trip without over-purchasing, and painting contractors and deck/fence maintenance crews use the same math to quote material costs accurately across jobs of different fence sizes and wood types.
