when i draw the chart it looks like this

1post =25ft
2 =50
3=75
4=100
5=125

6=150

7=175

8=200

so we add one for the extra post on the end of the 8th?

or at the start...which in this case makes more sense I think:  1 post at 0; 2nd post at 25...just that when you start building a fence you start with a post.
