Design the gate, price it, and hand the shop a cut list

A custom drive gate is usually a sketch, a guess at materials, and a price that hopes for the best. In FenceDraft you enter the gate’s specs and get a scaled drawing for the customer, a cut list for the fabricator and a real price, all from the same model, so the gate you sell is the gate the shop builds.

One model, three documents

The customer sees the gate.A clean drawing goes on the proposal, so when the customer signs, they’ve approved the design.
The fabricator gets a spec sheet.Every picket length, every frame member and the cut list, ready for the shop.
You get a real price.Material, fabrication and install priced from the same gate, added to the estimate total.

Change the width, the top or the picket size and all three update together.

Swing, slide and cantilever, built the way they work

Swing, single or double.Double leaves account for the hinge and meeting gap, so the pair fits the opening.
Slide.The gate overlaps the opening, with the track, wheels and wheel boxes counted.
Cantilever.The counterbalance tail is sized off the opening, and the top and frame lock to what cantilever rollers can actually carry, so nobody draws a gate that can’t be built.

Tops, pickets and finishes

Arched, flat or concave tops, with the arch rise set by a rule you control, not eyeballed on every bid.
Pickets laid out like the shop does it: even spacing with equal end gaps, or following punch channel holes, including alternating long and short pickets.
Frame, top and picket sizes from square and rectangular tubing in your price book, priced by size and gauge.
Finish: bare, prime and paint, or powder coat.
Medallions and custom artwork.Leave the space in the drawing and upload the artwork, so the customer approves the real design.

Nothing goes out unpriced

If a gate part has no price in your book, FenceDraft flags the estimate and won’t send the proposal until it’s fixed. No more gates quoted with free hardware.

Built by a fence contractor, for fence contractors

The gate designer was built from the gates Kustom Fence builds every week: real arches, real cantilevers and real cut lists, checked against gates that were already built.

Bring a gate you’ve already quoted

Bring the specs of a gate you’ve built. We’ll draw it in FenceDraft and you can compare the cut list against your shop’s.
