I need to fence off part of my garden which measures 30ft 8 inches. I want to use 6ft x 6ft lap fencing panels and 3inch posts (one at either end) so how many fence panels will i need and how many posts all together?

You will need 6 posts and 5 sections of fence. This may leave 8" at the end depending on how the fence connects to the posts (inside fit or outside).

The general rule is for what is exposed at least 1/3 should be buried. 6ft = 2ft buried. There are other consideration type of soil sandy more depth then the rule, wet more depth do to movement ground is not firm on sides. The best is add cement to give more support less movement. Type of fence if solid so air doesnt blow through but becomes a wall then more force is placed on it to lean or tip over. I watched just recently a three hundred foot farm fence 8 ft tall and solid blow over . The fence post were buried four feet in the ground, soil had water on before, a heavy wind took it down like domino's . He had lots of fun rounding up about 300 cows .
