Frequently asked questions

Which materials does it cover?
Wood and picket (posts, rails, pickets), vinyl (panels and posts) and chain link (posts, rail and mesh). Each style shows only the parts it uses.
Can I add gates?
Yes. Each gate adds a post and a hardware kit and removes its width from the picket or panel run so the count stays accurate.
Are these numbers exact?
They are close planning estimates, not a substitute for a contractor takeoff. Real quantities depend on your terrain, post spacing, waste and local building code, so buy a little extra and confirm against your supplier.
Is my fence design sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser. The layout, lengths and prices you enter stay on your device, nothing is uploaded, logged or stored, and it all clears when you close the tab.
