How to measure your fence for Coyote Rollers
This guide will help you determine what to order
Get Started for Your Fence
Measure Fence
Your fence may be made up of multiple panels.
- If so, measure the distance between each panel. Each panel will be a "section".
- Round UP your measurement to the nearest foot to ensure you have full roller coverage.
- Measure gates the same as you would a panel. If you have a double gate, measure both sides.
Rollers usually with NOT have enough space to install over your fence support posts (average clearance is about 1/2").
Rollers are 4 ft long and can be cut to size to meet your fence needs.
Your fence may have long continuous lengths. (without posts taller than top rail)
- If so, measure the distance of each run of fence. Each run will be a "section".
- Round UP your measurement to the nearest foot to ensure you have full roller coverage.
- Measure gates the same as you would a panel. If you have a double gate, measure both sides.
Rollers should cover all sides of your yard and gates for effectiveness. Rollers are 4 ft long and can be cut to size to meet your fence needs.
Enter Measurements
Now that you have the rounded up footage of your fence sections......
Enter each section to get the number of Rollers and Brackets you will need.
Save the totals and add with more sections as needed.
If you prefer to do this manually:
Determine roller quantities needed:
- - You will now DIVIDE each individual measurement you have, by 4 to determine how many Rollers you will need. (ie: 7ft divided by 4ft = 1.75 or 2 rollers, always round up to ensure you have enough product)
-
- - Divide by 4 because rollers are sold 4 ft lengths. (You can cut them down as needed during installation. We have a video for that)
Determine bracket quantities:
-
- For both panel and long line fence measurements, you will add one more bracket then you need rollers. (ie: 3 rollers will need 4 brackets)
- - Each bracket can hold two rollers that are installed side-by-side. One bracket is needed between two rollers, and one bracket on each end as well.
Determine extra end cap quantities needed:
-
- All rollers come with end caps pre-installed. You will want to have EXTRA End Caps on hand for the instances when you may cut a roller in half and will use both halves. We recommend you purchase a full roller even for small sections, to be sure you have enough product.
- - When you do cut a roller, and will NOT be using a piece you just cut off a roller, you are able to remove the end cap from its end, and replace into the new cut end of the roller half you will use. We have instruction for this in the Install Guide.
Select Brackets
There are 7 mounting bracket styles to choose from.
- The style you choose will be dependent on the type of fence(s) you have.
-
Click the SEE FENCE STYLES button below to see pictures with the applicable bracket style if you're not sure.
- Wood Fences
- Iron/Aluminum Fences
- Chain Link Fences
- Mason / Block Walls
- Vinyl Fences
- Brackets must attach to a solid horizontal top rail for roller installation. They are not designed to go post to post or on wire fences.
- Some brackets allow you to mount rollers on the side of the fence. THIS IS ONLY RECOMMENDED FOR KEEPING CATS IN, in certain cases. It is not recommended to install this way for dogs or coyote purposes.
FYI: We automatically ship you 50% left sided brackets and 50% right sided brackets (for the ends) You can use either a right or left sided bracket, in-between two rollers. The Installation Guide has pictures of Left and Right Brackets.
