    How far apart do you plan to install your poles and what materials are you using?

    1670 divided by 7 minus 1 should give you a accurate pole count not taking into account any gate.

    3 acres is approx. 130680 ft2 which is approx. 1452 ft perimeter.
    1452 divided by 7 minus 1 is equal to 206 poles not taking into account any gates.
