How Many Feet of Fence Is Needed for 1 Acre?
An acre is a unit of area equal to 43,560 square feet. The length of fencing needed to enclose an acre depends on the shape of the enclosure. For example, a square acre would require 2,178 feet of fencing, while a rectangular acre with a length-to-width ratio of 2:1 would require 2,429 feet of fencing.
To calculate the length of fencing needed for an acre, you can use the following formula:
Perimeter = Number of Feet Per Rod × Number of Rods in Acre
The number of feet per rod is a constant value of 16.5. The number of rods in an acre can be calculated by dividing the acreage by the number of rods per acre. For example, one acre is equal to 160 square rods.
Perimeter = 16.5 feet per rod × 160 rods per acre
Perimeter = 2,640 feet
Therefore, 2,640 feet of fence is needed to enclose one acre of land.
