Everything You Need to Estimate Your Fence Project
Every feature below is part of the actual app - nothing here is planned or upcoming.
Cost Estimator
Combines your material prices and labor rate into a clear estimated project cost.
Multiple Fence Sections
Model irregular yards by adding as many fence sections as your project needs.
Gate Calculations
Assign a gate to a section and see its width factored into that section's materials.
Material Breakdown
See the calculated (theoretical) quantity and the recommended purchase quantity for every item.
Waste Allowance
Choose a preset or custom waste percentage so you buy enough material, not just the bare minimum.
Labor Estimates
Enter your own labor price per linear foot to estimate labor cost alongside materials.
Shopping List
A scannable list of exactly what to buy, with purchase quantities and units.
Saved Projects
Save projects locally on your device and reopen them anytime to review or edit.
Budget Calculator
Enter a budget and see roughly how much fence (one continuous run) it can buy.
Simple Fence Layout
A simplified schematic showing the order of posts, sections, and gates - not to scale.
Offline Calculations
Every calculation works fully offline - no internet connection required.
Calculate for Different Fence Types
Each fence type uses its own material calculation model - there's no single formula that fits every material.
Wood
Privacy, picket, or board-on-board boards and rails.
Vinyl
Factory panels on posts - low maintenance.
Chain Link
Woven fabric, posts, rail, and tension hardware.
Metal
Aluminum or steel ornamental panels on posts.
Actual material requirements can vary by manufacturer, design, and local building requirements. The app does not claim to represent universal construction standards.
