King Ranch fence estimating, done right

King Ranch fence has more pieces than almost any fence you build: cedar posts, braces, stays in every bay, wire, top strands and steel gates. Generic estimating software doesn’t know it exists. FenceDraft prices it part by part, because it was built by a Texas contractor who builds it.

Every cedar piece, priced to its size

Cedar posts by size and height.Line posts, brace posts and horizontal braces each price from your own cedar catalog, so a taller fence picks up longer posts automatically.

Stays in every bay.Stays are counted bay by bay along each run, and priced like every other piece. No more adding them up by hand.

Braces at the gates.Every gate gets its H-brace, and the brace span comes out of the line-post count so you’re not paying for posts that aren’t there.

Peeling labor counted.Peeling is priced for every post and horizontal brace, so the crew gets paid for the work they actually do.

Wire and top strands that add up

Pick the ranch wire, then add barbed or smooth strands over the top. FenceDraft totals the footage before rounding to rolls, and only offers wire that fits the fence height you’re building.

Gates, built and listed part by part

King Ranch gates are welded diamond-braced steel frames covered with cattle panel. FenceDraft lists the tubing, J-bolts, hinges, latch and drop rod on the pull sheet, and matches the panel size to the wire you picked, so the proposal and the build agree.

A contract that matches the fence

The proposal’s scope language fills in from the estimate: post sizes, wire designation, strand count and gate panel. Change the wire and the contract changes with it, so you never sign a scope that describes a different fence than the one priced.

From the estimate to the truck

One estimate produces everything the job needs:

A customer proposal with your scope language, ready to sign online, with the deposit collected at signing.
A job cost sheet showing material, labor and margin.
A pull sheet the yard checks off on a phone.
A crew sheet in English and Spanish, with a dimensioned site plan and no dollar amounts.

Draw the fence over satellite imagery with property lines shown, or enter the footage by hand. Either way, the material count is the same.

Built by a fence contractor, for fence contractors

FenceDraft runs every estimate at Kustom Fence in New Braunfels, Texas, a 14-crew company that builds ranch, farm, King Ranch, cedar post, ornamental, chain link and wood fence across the Hill Country. Every formula was checked against real material loads on real jobs before it went into the product.
