• Fabric length = total length minus all gate openings + waste, then rounded UP to the next multiple of 50 ft (mesh sold only in 50 ft rolls — no partials). The BOM QTY for mesh is the amount you will purchase (e.g. 90 ft needed → 100 ft / 2 rolls).
• Posts along the run: ceil(fabric length ÷ spacing) + 1 total slots. Ends and corners fill those slots (each corner replaces a line post). Gate posts are additional at openings. Set corners to 0 for straight line jobs.
• End posts: 1 tension bar, 2 brace bands, and 1 tension band for each foot of fence height, 1 rail end.
• Corner posts: 2 tension bars, 4 brace bands, 2 tension bands for each foot of fence height, 2 rail ends.
• Tension bands is 1 per foot height for all posts. Corner posts have 2 sides so it is x2 sides.
• When gates are selected, prefab gate SKUs from Gates.xlsx appear at the bottom of the BOM (walk = SG prefix, 1 each; double drive = DG prefix, 1 each per opening — both sides included). Gate hardware: standard hinges — per walk gate 2 post + 2 frame hinges + 1 fork latch; per double drive 4 post + 4 frame hinges + 1 drop rod. Bulldog hinges can be selected independently for walk gates and/or double drive gates (2 bulldog per walk, 4 per double); each type replaces post + frame hinges only for that gate type. Prefab gate SKU prefers Bulldog-ready (BHL/BHR) variants when bulldog is on for that gate type. Drop rod is 1 per double gate (not doubled).
• Top rail ≈ fabric length + waste, always rounded up to next 21 ft increment. Choose swedged (no sleeve needed) or plain end (adds sleeves, one per connection/joint).
• Fence ties: 1 every 16" along top rail + 1 every 16" per line post height; rounded up to 100s. SKU by line post size: FG1509TIES / FBK1709TIES (1 5/8" & 1 7/8"); FG2309TIES / FBK2309TIES (2 3/8").
• Bottom tension wire (default): length matches mesh qty in BOM. Hog rings only with tension wire (1 per ft, by the pound).
• Bottom rail (instead of wire): removes tension wire + hog rings; adds line posts + 1 bottom rails at spacing length (suffix P). Per bottom rail: 2 rail ends (top rail size). Brace bands sized to post OD: line posts × count, corner posts ×2, end posts × count, gate posts × count (drive ×2).
• Finish (Galv/Black) first. Then per-category: size + material (16TU/20WT/40WT/Sched40) for Top Rail, Line, End, Corner (if used), and Gate (only when gates present). End and Corner sizes/materials are completely independent. Corner selector is ignored for straight runs (0 corners).
• Barbed wire top (optional): 3-strand, choose 45° angled or 90° vertical arms. Adds extension arms (match line post size and quantity) + wire × 3. If selected, extend corner/end/gate post length by 1 ft. Line post eye tops replaced by barb arms (only ends/corners/gates keep dome caps).
• Dome caps: 1 per end, corner, and gate post — each line matches that post size (separate rows when corner and end sizes differ).
• Gate notes field captures special requests (odd sizes, custom types, hardware, etc.). These appear with the BOM and are included in copy/CSV/print outputs.
• Misc. hardware & bolts = tension bands + brace bands, rounded up to nearest 100 (box quantity).
