SHEET A-1Features

Everything a fence submittal needs, in one place

Built by a fence salesman and project manager who got tired of redrawing the same chain link elevation every week.

Elevations that draw themselves

Height, post spacing, post sizes and weights, rails, tension wire, fabric gauge and coating, slats, barbed wire. Change a field and the drawing updates on the spot.

Gates and backstops

Single and double swing, cantilever slide and overhead track gates, plus baseball backstop plan views with wing angles and post layout.

Your brand on every sheet

Upload your logo and contact details once. They appear on the cover, every drawing and every notes page, and the logo links to your website.

Plan markup and LF takeoff

Drag the job PDF in, set the scale, trace fence runs and drop gate markers. Linear footage and gate counts flow straight into the project.

Ornamental library and manufacturer catalog

For ornamental fence, pick the height, metal, rails, picket top and spacing. Only manufacturer lines verified to fit are listed, and their exact panel detail and spec sheet drop into the set. Search the catalog and keep your own data sheets in the library too.

Nothing to install

Log in from the office or the truck. Updates arrive automatically, so every estimator is always on the current version.

SHEET A-6FAQ

Questions from fence contractors

Do I need to install anything?

No. Log in from Chrome or Edge on any Windows or Mac computer. Updates happen automatically.

Are the drawings to scale?

Elevation, gate and backstop details are schematic (N.T.S.) and fully dimensioned, which is the usual standard for fence submittals. The layout markup tool measures to scale once you set the plan scale.

Is there a product catalog?

Yes. Search fence manufacturers' product lines by product name or keyword, open their official specs and drawings, save the products you use, and add them to job notes. The catalog lists manufacturers only, never installers.

Can I use my own spec sheets and cut sheets?

Yes. Upload PDFs or images for each item (Schedule 40 and SS40 pipe, vinyl fabric, galvanized wire, slats, safety cap, steel posts, latch details). Each is added to the PDF only when that option is selected.

Where is my company information stored?

Your logo, colors, contact details and spec library are saved in your browser. Use Export backup in Company settings to keep a copy or move it to another computer.

Can more than one person use it?

The Crew plan includes up to five user logins for the same company. Need more? Email us for a company plan.

How do I cancel?

Open Account inside the app and cancel any time. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
