Drawing-driven takeoff for wood, vinyl, chain link & privacy
Sketch the run, set the style, and the fence-specific recipes compute quantities for every segment — including slope-added footage.

Why contractors search for fence estimating software
An estimate is only as good as the takeoff behind it.
Estimators who count posts on paper and price them in a spreadsheet spend their day reconciling three records. FenceTracer keeps the drawing as the quantity source: every segment updates footage, posts, pickets, rails, concrete, and gates, and the quote prices that same list — so the number the customer sees matches the number the crew builds.
Post, picket, rail, concrete & gate counts from the layout
Line, end, corner, and gate posts are classified from the geometry, with concrete bags and gate hardware attached per post type.
Your supplier prices, USD/CAD tax, and margin in every quote
Map your catalogue once and every estimate prices against real supplier numbers instead of someone's memory.
$180 CAD / $129 USD per month — unlimited users, quotes, and projects
After a 30-day free trial, invite estimators, office staff, and crews on one plan; estimating never becomes a per-seat decision.
Use cases
Estimating workflows for every kind of fence shop.
Owner-operators replacing paper and calculators
Go from site sketch to priced quote in one session, including tax and a branded PDF.
Shops quoting multiple fence types per week
Wood, privacy, vinyl, and chain link all use the same workflow with their own material recipes.
Estimators tired of re-keying takeoffs into spreadsheets
The drawing, quantities, prices, and quote stay on one record — change the layout once and every number follows.
Crews that question material counts on site
Every count carries its rule, so a crew lead can see why 34 bags of concrete are on the ticket.
Contractor operations workflow
From site sketch to a priced, sendable estimate.
Draw the layout
Trace runs, corners, gates, and style changes — footage and posts update live.
Review the takeoff
Check posts, pickets, rails, concrete, gates, and hardware before pricing.
Price with your catalogue
Apply supplier prices, tax defaults, and margin to the same quantities.
Send and hand off
Send a branded quote PDF, then carry the accepted scope to the calendar and crew.
FAQ
Questions contractors ask before switching.
What is fence estimating software?
Fence estimating software produces the quantities and pricing a fence quote needs — linear feet, posts, pickets, rails, concrete, gates, and hardware — from a layout instead of manual counting. FenceTracer adds the drawing, your supplier pricebook, tax, and quote PDFs so the estimate flows into a customer-ready proposal.
How is FenceTracer different from a fence calculator or spreadsheet?
A calculator assumes one straight run; a spreadsheet still needs the quantities typed in. FenceTracer works from the real drawn layout — corners, slopes, gates, and per-segment styles — and keeps the quantities attached to the quote, the calendar, and the crew's app.
Does it support the fence types I actually sell?
Yes: wood, wood privacy, vinyl, chain link (residential and commercial assemblies), ornamental, and composite. Each style has its own material recipe, so a chain link takeoff includes tension bars and tie packs while a vinyl takeoff counts position-specific posts.
Can I estimate with my supplier's prices?
Yes. Map your supplier catalogue once (or import a CSV from Master Halco, Wholesale Fence Supply, or Atlas), and every estimate prices against your numbers — with tax defaults for US sales tax or Canadian HST, GST + QST, and GST + PST.
How much does fence estimating software cost?
FenceTracer is 30 days free, then $180 CAD / $129 USD per month for the whole company. Unlimited users, unlimited quotes, and unlimited projects. No credit card to start, and no per-seat fees.
