Fence Opacity Calculator
What is fence opacity?
Fence opacity is the % of solid material that blocks visibility. For example, 75% opacity means 25% open space between slats (like using 3" slats with 1" spacing).
Use our Fence Opacity Calculator to find the exact spacing required between horizontal slats to meet your desired privacy percentage. Whether you’re building a modern horizontal fence or complying with municipal code, this tool helps you calculate ideal slat spacing based on fence height and slat width.
Features:
Choose between 1”, 2”, 3”, or 5” slats
Customize your total fence height in inches
Set your desired opacity % (from open to full privacy)
Instantly calculate required spacing or see alternate combinations
Yes, lower opacity (more open space) allows more wind to pass through, reducing stress on your fence. High opacity fences are more solid and may need stronger posts or footing for support.

About This Fence Calculator
Quickly estimate the number of slats required for your aluminum horizontal fence. Set your total fence height in inches, choose a slat width, and adjust the spacing. The live preview shows
how your design looks against a natural backyard background—when you change spacing, the gaps reveal more or less of the view while the overall fence height stays fixed.
Great for homeowners and contractors planning modern aluminum fencing. Use this tool to visualize privacy vs. airflow and to prepare materials more accurately.
Why You Should Use This Calculator
Homeowners often ask: “How many slats do I need for a 6 ft tall fence?” or “What’s the best spacing for privacy vs airflow?”
This calculator answers those questions in seconds. Whether you want maximum privacy, a modern aesthetic, or airflow for windy areas,
just enter your measurements and see the live preview update instantly.
Contractors also use this tool for material planning, privacy percentage calculations, and modern horizontal fence design layouts. Try different slat widths: 1″, 2″, 3″, or 5″ and find the right balance for your project!
