This builds a fence estimate from the count a crew will recognise on site. It derives the posts from the run and the spacing, prices posts and the material between them at your costs with your markup, counts the gates and prices them each, adds labor per linear foot and any removal of the old fence, and ends on the estimate total with the price per linear foot beside it. Free, on the page, no account; the paid plan saves it against the customer and sends it under your own name.
The post count comes from the spacing, and everything hangs off it
Run divided by spacing plus one is the post count, and it is the first number the crew checks. The tool derives it rather than asking for it, so the materials line is built from a figure that matches the site, and a change to the spacing changes the posts, the concrete and the price together instead of leaving the estimate with last week's count.
Gates are counted, not measured
A gate is a frame, hinges, a latch and the hour it takes to hang straight, and none of that scales with the fence length. The tool prices gates each at your installed price, which is why the two-gate job on a short run costs more per foot than the long run with none, and why the customer who drops a gate sees exactly what it saves.
Materials marked up, labor per foot, removal on its own line
The materials markup pays for the supplier trip and the split post you replace under your own warranty, and it belongs on materials. Labor is priced per linear foot at your rate. Taking out and hauling off the old fence is its own line, so the customer who wants to keep it sees the price fall by that amount and nothing else.
Fence estimate: common questions
Is this a free fence estimate calculator?
Yes. It prices the run on the page with no account: posts from the spacing, materials at your cost and markup, gates each, labor per foot, removal, the total and the price per linear foot. Print it as it stands. TakeoffDeck Pro adds your company name and logo, a PDF without our line, and saving it against the customer and the job.
How many posts does a fence need?
The run divided by the post spacing, plus one for the end, before corners and gate posts. The tool computes that count from the spacing you enter; add a post per corner and per gate side on the estimate if your layout has them, or shorten the spacing to cover it.
Should the estimate show a price per foot?
Yes, last, after the lines that produced it. Customers compare fence quotes per foot whether or not you show one, so the tool prints the total divided by the run beneath the lines, where it reads as the result of the count rather than a number you started from.
