You might be planning to fence the boundary of your property or create an internal paddock or house yard, however you might only know the area in acres or hectares rather then the length of the fence required to enclose it.
However be aware that the table below assumes a somewhat square block, if your block is of a different shape, eg long and skinny than the circumference of your block is longer than outlined.
Below is a conversion table where you can easily look up the length of the boundary for a given area:
| ¼ acre | (0.1 hectares) | = | 127 metres |
| ½ acre | (0.2 hectares) | = | 180 metres |
| ¾ acre | (0.3 hectares) | = | 220 metres |
| 1 acre | (0.41 hectares) | = | 255 metres |
| 2 acres | (0.81 hectares) | = | 360 metres |
| 3 acres | (1.21 hectares) | = | 441 metres |
| 4 acres | (1.62 hectares) | = | 509 metres |
| 5 acres | (2.02 hectares) | = | 569 metres |
| 10 acres | (4.05 hectares) | = | 805 metres |
| 20 acres | (8.09 hectares) | = | 1141 metres |
| 40 acres | (16.19 hectares) | = | 1609 metres |
| 50 acres | (20.24 hectares) | = | 1800 metres |
