About this calculator

A rod (also called a perch or pole) is an old English unit of length equal to 5.5 yards, or 5.0292 metres exactly — historically the length of an ox-goad, later standardized as one-fourth of a surveyor's chain (22 yards) and one-320th of a mile.

The rod isn't just a historical curiosity: it's still embedded in legal land descriptions across the US and other former British territories, where old property deeds, boundary surveys, and fencing measurements are written in rods and perches — land surveyors, title researchers, and rural property owners regularly need to convert those figures to modern metres to reconcile deeds with GPS-based surveys.
