Pipe rail fence estimating that thinks in sticks

Pipe fence is bought by the stick and cut in the shop, so footage math alone always comes up short. FenceDraft counts posts and rails the way they come off the rack.

Counted the way it's cut

Posts by the stick.Each post is cut to height plus embedment, so FenceDraft counts how many posts a stick really yields, with the drop accounted for.

Rails kept separate.Rail runs whole sticks and is counted on its own, so post offcuts are never counted as usable rail.

Pipe priced by size and schedule from your pipe price list.

Wire under the rails.Add ranch wire that fits under the top rail, or leave it off.

Caps and touch-up paint counted for the whole job, not per run.

Gates

Gates are welded diamond-braced steel frames covered with cattle panel. The pull sheet lists the tubing, hinges, latch and drop rod, and the yard pulls exactly what the gates need.

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.
