Run a fencing business on linear foot pricing

Why fencing prices by the edge, and how to measure perimeter accurately on a satellite map.

Fencing does not price like lawn care or roofing. You are not covering a surface, you are running a line. That means your estimate hangs on perimeter, measured in linear feet, not on area.

Measure the run, not the area

On the satellite map, trace the path the fence will follow. Quove reports the length of that line in linear feet, which is the number your pricing is built on. Gates, corners, and returns all add to the run, so follow the real route.

Price by the foot

Set your fencing rate as a price per linear foot. Quove multiplies your traced length by that rate, so a longer run prices itself without any manual math.

Capture what changes the price

  • Gate count and width, which a custom field can capture on the quote.
  • Material and height, which can shift your rate per foot.
  • Terrain that slows the crew, which belongs in your base rate.
Add a custom field for gate count so every fencing quote captures it the same way, and the detail lands on the customer record.

Put this into practice on your next quote.
