FenceWalk: Fence Calculator

FenceWalk is a fence calculator that starts from the line itself. Walk the fence line with your phone and tap Corner at each turn, or sketch the line using typed lengths and turns. FenceWalk draws a plan and estimates the posts, panels, boards, rails, concrete and gates for the job.

WALK THE LINE
Stand at the first post and tap Start walk. Walk to the next corner and tap Corner. A plan view grows as you go, showing each run's estimated length and the reported GPS accuracy. When you get back to the start, Close the loop joins the last corner to the first. Location is used only while the Walk tab is open, never in the background.

OR SKETCH IT
No signal, or measuring from a drawing? Sketch mode gives you the same plan from typed lengths and turns, with no GPS at all.

YOUR TAPE WINS
GPS is an estimate. Any run can be overwritten with a tape measure reading, and the tape figure is the one the materials use. Check with a tape before you order.

SIX FENCE TYPES
Panel and post, closeboard, picket, post and rail, chain link and wire. Enter settings such as fence height, panel width, post spacing, rail count and gravel boards. Metric or imperial.

THE MATERIALS LIST
Estimated counts for end posts, corner posts, line posts and gate posts. Panels, boards, pickets, rails, gravel boards, mesh, wire and bags of concrete. Set a spare allowance for materials, starting at 10 percent. Add gates to any run.

YOUR PRICES, YOUR TOTAL
Type a price for each material once and FenceWalk remembers it. You get a total for the job and a cost per metre or per foot.

PDF JOB SHEET AND MATERIALS LIST
Share a PDF job sheet with the plan drawing, the materials and your prices, with a client name for trades. Or share the list as plain text with no prices, ready to send straight to a supplier.

BACK UP YOUR JOBS
Save your jobs to a backup file and restore them on another phone. No account and no cloud.

WHO IT IS FOR
A fence building app for homeowners planning a garden or backyard fence, and small fencing and landscaping firms estimating materials on site.

WHAT IT DOES NOT DO
It estimates materials from the lengths you mark or type. It does not certify a boundary, a height rule or a structural design. Height rules and boundaries vary, so check locally.

STANDARD AND UNLOCKED
One job, every fence type, walk and sketch, the materials list and the text list are in the standard version. A single one-time unlock adds as many jobs as you like, your prices and totals, and the PDF job sheet, and removes the banner. No subscription. Your saved jobs always stay open.
