Fence contractors use LF (Linear Feet) measurements which are taken by using a measuring wheel and measuring the perimeter (fence line) of the property. Locate your nearest fence contractor for material and labor estimates in your area. Precision Fence, Wichita Falls, TX

1 acre = 43560 square feet. Square root of 43560 = 208.7 feet. Therefore, 1 acre would need 4 x 208.7 feet. A second acre next to the first acre would require another 3 sides. Therefore, you would need 7 x 208.7 feet = 1460.9 feet.

Depends on the length and width. The more square the field the less Fencing it will take. You need to measure the perimeter. Since it is a rectangle and not a square, you must first measure the length or width. Say you measure the width since it is the shortest of the two.

There are 43560 square feet in one acre or 87120 square feet in your two acres. So length times width equals 87120. Therefore 87120 divided by width (which you know since you measured it) will give you the length. The amount of fence you need is two times the length plus two times the width.

If your two acres were square, each side would be the square root of 87120 or 295.16 feet. Your fence would need to be four times that or 1180.64 feet of fence

The answer depends on the measure of the perimeter of your property, and not the area. The perimeter can vary depending on how the property is laid out. 2.5 acres is roughly 108,900 square feet. That could be a square that measures 330 feet on each side (1,320 feet perimeter), or a rectangle that measures 108.9 feet wide by 1,000 feet long (2,218 feet perimeter), or even ONE foot wide by 20-5/8 miles long (217,802 feet perimeter). It could even be a circle encompassing 2.5 acres - which would have the smallest perimeter of 1170 feet. Each of these examples contains exactly 2.5 acres, but the measure around that 2.5 acres is vastly different.

Your best bet is to find a plat of your property, or the title description, and add up the various sides from that. Or buy a measuring wheel (any home improvement or hardware store) and walk the perimeter of your property to measure the distance. Then divide that distance by 50. The answer will be the number of rolls of 50-foot fencing you'll need.
