How Do You Calculate The Concrete For A Chain Link Fence?
Chain link fencing is an effective barrier that comes at a lower cost than other fence types, and is one of the most commonly used materials. Like most other fence types, the actual fence panel material is held together by intermediate fence posts. These posts are most effective when anchored in concrete footings. Fence post footings are small in comparison to other footing types, but this makes calculating their volume an easy task. Find the volume of the fence post footings that will be used. This can be done by multiplying the footing depth by its length and width (cross sectional area), use the area of a circle (3.14 multiplied by the radius squared) for circular footings. Example: A common footing that measures 18 inches deep, with a cross sectional area of 144 square inches (12 by 12 inches) has a total volume of 2592 cubic inches. Convert the volume in Step 1 to cubic feet by dividing by 1728 (amount of inches in a cubic foot). Example: A footing with a volume of 2592 cubic inch
