Live linear-foot totals from the canvas
Every segment updates the measured footage as the layout changes, including the additional fabric length created by slopes.
Fence takeoff software
Fence takeoff software for linear feet, posts, gates, and quotes
Fence takeoff software should estimate posts, rails, fabric, fittings, gates, and hardware from the fence layout, then keep those quantities tied to the customer quote and crew handoff.

Why contractors search for fence takeoff software
A fence takeoff should begin with geometry, not a blank spreadsheet.
FenceTracer treats the drawing as the quantity source. Runs, corners, gates, slopes, and style changes feed fence-specific material recipes, so an estimator can inspect why each post, rail, panel, or fitting is present before pricing the work.
Post and gate counts tied to the drawn layout
Line, terminal, corner, and gate-post quantities come from the geometry and configured spacing rules rather than manual counting.
Material recipes for chain link, wood, ornamental, vinyl, and more
Map catalogue slots and quantity rules by fence type so wood, chain link, vinyl, ornamental, composite, and welded systems produce different lists.
$180 CAD/month flat with unlimited users and projects
Estimators, purchasing staff, and crew leads can review the same takeoff without adding paid seats or copying projects between tools.
Use cases
Takeoffs for field layouts, purchasing, and install prep.
Residential yard layout takeoffs
Trace an irregular yard, add openings, and review measured footage before a residential proposal is priced.
Multi-segment style changes
Assign different assemblies to individual segments when a single property changes height, material, or finish.
Material lists for ordering and pickup
Turn approved quantities into a pick list that purchasing and the yard can review before material leaves the shop.
Crew handoff from sales to install
Keep the drawing and the logic behind the quantities available when installers question a count on site.
Contractor operations workflow
From fence geometry to an auditable material list.
Trace the fence
Draw runs, corners, openings, slopes, and gates where they belong in the job.
Review takeoff counts
Check linear feet, posts, rails, fabric, fittings, gates, and hardware before pricing.
Quote from the same source
Avoid copying takeoff totals into a separate spreadsheet just to build the proposal.
Share install context
Keep the quantity logic connected when the job moves from sales to production.
FAQ
Questions contractors ask before switching.
Does FenceTracer do fence material takeoffs?
Yes. FenceTracer can calculate fence-specific quantities from a drawn layout, including linear feet, posts, gates, rails, fabric, hardware, and other material needs depending on the configured fence style.
Is this for plan takeoff or site sketches?
FenceTracer is optimized for contractors quoting from site sketches and field measurements. It is built for fast layout-to-quote workflows rather than generic commercial plan takeoff.
